For quantifying the amount of attention directed to different locations when moving with vehicles, the signal location task (SLT) was developed.

In an experiment the SLT-method was used to investigate the influence of outdoor advertising on driving behaviour. The light points were placed on billboards, traffic signs, cars of other road users, and at irrelevant locations in the periphery ...
