To investigate the features of driver attention allocation, eye movement data was collected in a driving simulator environment, the distribution of fixation time, and searching scope of visual information were used to express the mode of a drivers’ attention allocation. Based on these factors, drivers’ attention allocation was investigated under different driving behaviors, and the influence of distractive vehicle coming from different directions was examined. Three conclusions were drawn from this study: (1) Drivers always give enough attention to information far ahead. (2) Under free driving, a driver will decrease his concern on information far ahead, but will increase his concern on the turning side. At the same time, a driver will transfer his concern from a distant region to a near region. (3) Traffic environment will impact little to a drivers’ attention allocation mode while driving along a road with a small curvature, and it will greatly impact a drivers’ attention mode while turning or changing lanes.
