TS EN ISO 15007-1

TS EN ISO 15007-1 defines the key terms and parameters used to analyse driver visual behaviour in relation to transport information and control systems in road vehicles. Rather than prescribing a full test procedure, this part establishes the common technical vocabulary for describing where drivers look, how they shift gaze, and how visual attention is characterised in studies of in-vehicle interfaces.

Why the terminology matters in driver-vehicle studies

In general technical context, driver visual behaviour includes the ways a driver gathers information from the road environment, instruments, mirrors, displays and controls. As in-vehicle information systems become more complex, concepts such as glance duration, glance distribution, eye movement and visual workload become important in ergonomics and human-factors assessment. This standard supports consistent use of those concepts across design and research work.

What this part covers

• Core terms and definitions used in analyses of driver visual behaviour
• Parameters employed in related measurement and evaluation work
• Clear separation of similar but technically distinct visual behaviour concepts
• Terminology support for the other parts of the ISO 15007 series

As Part 1 of the series, this document builds the conceptual foundation rather than the measurement method itself. Related documents such as ISO/EN ISO 15007-2 complement it with measurement-oriented content. In practice, TS EN ISO 15007-1 is relevant wherever driver-interface interaction, attention analysis and human-factors evaluation of in-vehicle information systems need a shared technical language.
