An Eye Tracking-Based Forensic Analysis of Motorcyclist Conspicuity During a Left Turn Maneuver

Research has identified drivers’ failure to detect motorcyclists as a causal factor in collisions, with drivers often looking towards or at a motorcycle but reporting that they never saw the motorcycle. Driving is a complex task and it is important to understand where and how drivers allocate their attention. Using mobile eye tracking technology, the present study was conducted as part of the forensic analysis of a collision between a passenger vehicle and a motorcycle. Gaze patterns of eight individuals were recorded as they made left-hand turns across traffic. Data from this study indicated that half of the participants fixated the motorcycle. However, none of the participants appeared to detect the motorcycle-initiated motion towards them as they made their left turn. These findings suggest that drivers were able to peripherally detect the motorcycle but failed to see it or judged the motorcycle not to be an imminent threat.

Tracking Technology

Early research on gaze patterns during human locomotion indicated that pedestrians tend to focus their gaze on the path 2 – 3 m ahead. More recent research in this area has utilized eye tracking technology to empirically assess eye movements during navigation in naturalistic environments. A similar approach to understanding personal injuries resulting in civil lawsuits has potential utility in the field of forensic human factors. The present study was conducted in the context of gathering empirical data to support expert opinions in a premises liability civil suit. Using a mobile head-mounted eye tracker, the gaze patterns of five individuals was assessed as they walked two paths covering the area where the plaintiff in the subject suit was injured. The results of this analysis indicated that, consistent with previous research, participants fixated the path ahead. Additionally, the duration of fixations on their final destination tended to be longer than fixations on other objects or areas in the forward view. The present study demonstrates the utility of empirical analysis of conditions surrounding a personal injury using eye tracking technology.

Abstract Background The use of eye-tracking technology in plastic surgery has gained popularity over the past decade due to its ability to assess observers’ visual preferences in an objective manner. Objectives The goal of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of eye-tracking studies in plastic and reconstructive surgery, which can aid in the design and conduct of high-quality eye-tracking studies. Methods Through application of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive search of articles published on eye-tracking across several databases was conducted from January 1946 to January 2019. Inclusion criteria included studies evaluating the use of eye-tracking technology in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The resulting publications were screened by 2 independent reviewers. Results A total of 595 articles were identified, 23 of which met our inclusion criteria. The most common application of eye-tracking was to assess individuals with cleft lip/palate (9 studies). All 19 studies that evaluated fixation patterns among conditions vs controls reported significant differences between the 2 groups. Five out of 7 studies assessing visual data between preoperative and postoperative patients identified significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative groups, whereas 2 studies did not. Nine studies examined the relation between severity indices, attractiveness scores, or personality ratings and gaze patterns. Correlation was found in 7 out of the 9 studies. Conclusions This systematic review demonstrates the utility of eye-tracking technology as a quantifiable objective assessment and emerging research tool for evaluating outcomes in several domains of plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Tracking Technology

Eye tracking, previously the purview of well-funded laboratories, is now available to any individual who wishes to study gaze patterns. Advances in eye-tracking technology have made it possible for those with meager budgets but an abundance of motivation to engage in studies that examine participants’ eye movements and fixations. This article presents a how-to guide for creating low-cost eye-tracking solutions and includes discussion of optical hardware, tracking software, and data analysis programs. The wider availability of eye-tracking technology ensures that the broader scientific community has access to techniques that can inform design and enhance research.
