Abstract

A driver’s recognition of traffic signs while driving is a pivotal indicator of a driver’s attention to critical environmental information and can be a key element in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In this study, we look at the impact of driving speed on a driver’s attention to traffic signs by considering signs missed. We adopt a very strict definition of "missing" in this work where a sign is considered "missed" if it does not fall under the gaze of a driver. We employ an accurate algorithm to detect traffic sign objects and then estimate the driver’s visual attention area. By intersecting this area with objects identified as traffic signs, we can estimate the number of missed traffic sign objects while driving at different ranges of speeds. The experimental results show that the vehicle speed has a negative impact on drivers missing or seeing traffic sign objects.
