In order to investigate effects of driving conditions and traffic environments on visual behaviour, a driving simulator experiment was conducted. Specifically it was considered how a visual field was influenced as a function of cognitive distraction, possibly resulting in a situation of look-but-did-not see, and crowdedness of other vehicles and pedestrians. Cognitive distraction was simulated by a experimental secondary task which was relevant to mental calculations. It was found that driver's reaction time to a target mark was increased resulting from cognitive distraction. This result may be explained from a driver's visual field point of view. That is a visual field for recognising a target mark got small when drivers was distracted with particularly driving on non-crowded road, compared with crowded road. Potential application of this research will be discussed.
