Driving is a visual task; any driver behavior that takes the driver's visual attention from the driving environment is likely to increase the risk of a crash. Many new intelligent transportation systems telematics applications are now being installed in cars, and some of these may result in substantial degradation of visual attention. Accurately capturing driver eye glance behavior during the evaluation of these devices is critical to assessing the safety impact of engaging in secondary tasks while driving. The development of a methodology is reported; it reliably determines on-road and off-road eye glance duration by using video data collected during highway driving evaluation trials while drivers were engaged with secondary tasks. Human raters determined glance location and duration by detailed coding of the driver's eye movements on the videos. The raters agreed most of the time, but sufficient disagreement suggested that using the consensus of multiple raters significantly improved the reliability of the resulting eye glance data.
