The scanning skills of a vehicle operator represent a key parameter for hazard perception and effective vehicle operation. Overriding ones sight distance, or not looking far enough ahead down the roadway, may not leave a motorcycle rider enough time to detect and respond to changes in the environment. This study used eye tracker technology to monitor where motorcycle riders were looking as they rode over an open road course and a closed course. The purpose of the project was to determine if visual behavior differs between beginner riders who have received training on sight distance, beginner riders who have not received training, and experienced riders. An additional objective was to develop the data acquisition system necessary to collect these data, and to demonstrate the feasibility of collecting eye-tracking data on the open road from riders with a variety of experience levels.
