Abstract: Visual attention model of drivers plays an important role to the safety of driving. Empirical research recently have revealed some typical models from the aspects of scanning of road scene or in-out vehicle which include the effect of visual model on safe driving, the visual attention distribution model and the training of visual attention model for the drivers. Furthermore, we should pay more attention to the influence factor of visual attention model and the localization theory in China.

Key words: drivers, visual attention model, attention distribution model
