Where do drivers look when approaching curves on a winding road? Existing models on
visual processes in curve driving have focused on path-controlling behavior. Another aspect
in curve driving is the visual anticipation of potential oncoming vehicles, obstacles and road
alignment. We define the occlusion point of a curve as the nearest point where the view of
the road is blocked by some obstacle (eg vegetation). Monitoring the occlusion point is
relevant for safe driving because potential oncoming vehicles or obstacles on the road will …
