1. A method comprising:

  • monitoring, with one or more image capture devices, one or more eyes of a vehicle operator during a first driving session to generate a plurality of gaze location logs, each of the plurality of gaze location logs including a gaze location value and a timestamp,wherein the gaze location value is generated by;

    determining a gaze location corresponding to the one or more eyes of the vehicle operator,determining an area of the vehicle associated with the gaze location, andassigning the gaze location value based on the area of the vehicle associated with the gaze location;

    analyzing, with a processor, the plurality of gaze location logs to determine a duration of a gaze of the vehicle operator for each of a plurality of areas of the vehicle, the determination of the duration of the gaze of the vehicle operator being based on a difference between two timestamps included in the plurality of gaze location logs;

    for each of the plurality of areas of the vehicle, analyzing, with the processor, the duration of the gaze of the vehicle operator to identify one or more recommendations to improve performance of the vehicle operator; and
