This paper describes the application of an important tool which can capture shifting information from pilots' visual attention data. In order to investigate the shifting information, the shifting state space is defined by visual tracking, visual interference and visual dormancy. Using this analysis, the movement of pilots' visual attention can be completely measured. The results that the forecast of the probability shifting model is coincident with the fact suggest the use of the model as a powerful technique for measuring the movement of pilots' visual attention. Furthermore, the link between visual attention and driving experience or sexual distinction are also discussed in the probability shifting model.
