Abstract

Monitoring work performance declined has became need solution of important problem, and eye gaze orientation and pupil size related Monitoring task performance also worth to explore, to prevent the security monitoring personnel’s fatigue and performance decline. This research in simulating monitoring task based on Machworth’s Clock Test use the eye tracker to measure the attention direction and pupil size of the subject, and subjective evaluation of fatigue and attention. The results show monitoring work performance declined with the time-series on. Pupil size relates to fatigue and eye gaze orientation relates attention. It is discussed to evaluate the attention by controlling eye gaze orientation and fatigue to enhance monitoring performances.
