Eye movement and alignment in traffic

The driver’s visual and cognitive ability to coordinate eye movements to provide a complete and accurate view of the road situation. This ability includes combined eye movement, continuous visual tracking of moving objects, and quick navigation between multiple points on the road, such as traffic lights, other vehicles, pedestrians, and stationary road elements. In the psychology of road behavior, eye coordination is considered a critical component for accurately estimating distance, tracking moving vehicles and pedestrians, planning maneuvers, and making timely preventive decisions. Impaired eye coordination can lead to incorrect distance estimation, ineffective tracking of other vehicles, difficulty maneuvering, and an increased likelihood of traffic accidents. Therefore, the assessment of eye movement and alignment is used as part of the psychological and neuropsychological assessment of drivers, as well as safe driving and attention training programs to improve road safety and improve the ability to cope with complex traffic situations.
