Using eye tracking to enhance the efficiency and safety of tram drivers - designing visual attention training

The research is part of a collaborative doctoral project between the Eye-Tracking Research Center at SWPS University in Warsaw and Warsaw Trams Ltd. Two comparative eye-tracking studies were conducted involving both novice and expert tram drivers to describe visual behavior during tram operation accurately. Analysis of the eye-tracking data provided valuable insights into key moments for driving safety, guiding the development of an optimal training program for novice tram operators. This paper presents preliminary ideas for the planned training, incorporating modern technologies such as eye tracking and augmented reality.
