Comparison of Gaze Behavior in Real- and Simulated Driving

Abstract

Driving simulators are essential for the development of vehicle sys-tems, as they enable safe and efficient user engagement. Their validity determines the extent to which the results from empirical user studies obtained in driving simulators can be transferred to real-world driving situations.

This study examines the gaze behavior of participants in a within-subject de-sign, both in a real vehicle and in a driving simulator with a digital road replica. Using gaze-point plots and expert ratings, we compare fixation patterns across three road sections (City Drive, Rural Drive, Highway). The results visually in-dicate a moderate to high similarity in gaze distributions, suggesting consistent fixation patterns in both environments, with some notable exceptions on an indi-vidual level and generally highest matches in the City Drive.

However, further statistical analyses are necessary to quantitatively confirm similarities and assess systematic differences.
