The working environment of drivers on the road is highly dynamic and poses a number of challenges and ments to them – to work long periods of time while constantly searching for information about the road situation, as it is expected of the driver to quick assess situations, timely reactions and optimal solutions in quickly changing environment. The problem of the correct distribution of visual attention on the individual parts of the road and the devices in the car turns out to be essential in determining the efficiency and safety while driving. The distribution of attention is an important element in a person”s cognitive functions for building thought patterns for the environment and reflects the brain”s ability to respond adequately to various incentives or tasks at an imposed pace, lack of time, and under the impact of a number of environmental factors. The article examines the possibilities proposed by oculography (eye tracking) to research the distribution of visual attention of drivers during training and driving in real conditions. The possibilities of the laboratory in IKIT-BAS for conducting this type of research are shown.
