Driver Workload Response to In-Vehicle Device Operations

Abstract

A central concern of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the effect of in-vehicle devices (e.g., cell phones, navigation systems, radios, etc.) on driver performance and safety. As diverse and innovative technologies are designed and implemented for in-vehicle use, questions regarding the presence

Naturalistic Driving: User and Task Analysis

“…This research typically isolates these variables from other integral components, limiting the ability of such studies to explain real-world driver performance (see Klein, Vincent & Isaacson, 2001). This is a vital issue, since there are a variety of performance measures for the driving task (Jerome et al, 2001). In this paper we suggest a practical approach to measuring driver performance using techniques drawn from cognitive task analysis and naturalistic decision-making research.…”
