The Magazine Tráfico y Seguridad Vial [Traffic and Road Safety], published by the Directorate General of Traffic, has published on February 8, 2021 an article on the study carried out by the DATS group of INTRAS related to eye movements and driving.

Eye movements allow us to observe both static and moving objects and are performed separately by each eye. Almost 80% of the information we receive in our daily lives comes to us through our eyes. When we drive, seeing well is essential.

The study has shown that it may be feasible to apply a test hitherto used in the clinical setting, the ADEM (Adult Developmental Eye Movement Test) to detect visual impairment, both in obtaining and renewing driving licences.

The results of this research are reflected in the scientific article "Comparing oculomotor efficiency and visual attention between drivers and non-drivers through the Adult Developmental Eye Movement (ADEM) test: A visual-verbal test", published in the scientific journal Plos One.
