Understanding drivers’ eye behavior before lane changing is an important aspect of designing usable, safe lane-change collision-avoidance systems (LCAS) that will fit well with drivers’ expectations. This understanding could lead to improvements for LCAS as well as for a variety of other collision avoidance systems. Findings regarding driver eye glance behaviors are presented in a comparison of lane change maneuvers with straight-ahead (baseline) driving events. Specific eye glance patterns before lane change initiation were observed. When preparing to make a lane change to the left as compared with driving straight ahead, drivers doubled the number of glances toward the rearview mirror and were much more likely to look at other locations associated with moving to the left, including the left mirror and blind spot. On the basis of the eye glance patterns observed and previous results, the following recommendations are made: ( a) visual presence detection indicator displays should be used to provide information about vehicles in the rear adjacent lane any time a vehicle is detected, ( b) a presence indicator should be presented in a visual format, and ( c) the left mirror and rearview mirror locations should be considered for providing lane change information to the driver. The process of acquiring and analyzing eye glance movements is well worth the investment in resources. However, prototype systems must be tested before implementation, and the exact location and format of warning systems warrant a separate research and development effort to ensure safety and reliability.
