Driving is a complex psychomotor task often interrupted by secondary activities that increase cognitive workload and divert attention away from the roadway. The risk of inattentive driving is known to vary with age. To assess the characteristics of advancing age on driver's cognitive workload under dual task condition, we evaluate the performance of 96 drivers divided into three age groups: 20's, 40's, and 60's. This study considers driver's cognitive workload in the context of urban and highway driving. Error rate & Dual task cost are used to measure driver's cognitive workload. Results indicate that age impacts cognitive workload during dual task driving conditions.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed the difference in a driver's workload between using a driving simulator and field driving in tunnel, highway. METHODS : Based on the literature review, it was found that a driver's workload could be quantified using biosignals. This study analyzed the biosignal data of 30 participants using data collected while they were using a driving simulator and during a field test involving tunnel driving. Relative energy parameter was used for biosignal analysis. RESULTS : The driver's workload was different between the driving simulator and field driving in tunnels, highway. Compared with the driving simulator test, the driver's workload exhibited high value in field driving. This result was significant at the 0.05 level. The same result was observed before the tunnel entrance section and 200 m after the entrance section. CONCLUSIONS : This study demonstrates the driving simulator effect that drivers feel safer and more comfortable using a driving simulator than during a field test. Future studies should be designed considering the result of this study, age, type of simulator, study site and so on.

The driver model based on the ACT-R cognitive architecture was developed in order to predict the performance and cognitive workload of a driver operating HVI devices. In the 10 HVI tasks, the predicted performance time and cognitive workload by the ACT-R driver model was well matched and highly correlated with the mean of performance times and subjective workload ratings from 15 participants, respectively. It is strongly proposed that the ACT-R driver model in this study can be applied to evaluate the usability of a new HVI design with less cost in the early stage of system development.

This paper proposes an adaptive multimodal in-vehicle information system for safe driving. The proposed system filters input information based on both the priority assigned to the information and the given driving situation, to effectively manage input information and intelligently provide information to the driver. It then interacts with the driver using an adaptive multimodal interface by considering both the driving workload and the driver's cognitive reaction to the information it provides. It is shown experimentally that the proposed system can promote driver safety and enhance a driver's understanding of the information it provides by filtering the input information. In addition, the system can reduce a driver's workload by selecting an appropriate modality and corresponding level with which to communicate. An analysis of subjective questionnaires regarding the proposed system reveals that more than 85% of the respondents are satisfied with it. The proposed system is expected to provide prioritized information through an easily understood modality.

In driving situation, driver’s performance can be divided into primary task and secondary task. Many studies of primary task have been in progress, but those of secondary task are not implemented sufficiently. However, the driver’s error is greatly influenced by secondary task. In this study, an experiment was assessed to determine the relationship between the driver's operation time for the secondary task and mental workload due to speed changes in a driving simulation. The time to perform the secondary task was analyzed with Fitts’ Law, and mental workload was analyzed with RNASA-TLX(Revision of NASA-Task Load Index). The results has showed that the higher speed, the weaker the explanation by the use of Fitts' Law and the result of analyzing mental workload using RNASA-TLX was similar to the result of Fitts’ Law.

Driving workload is increasing according to developing new in-vehicle devices and introducing driving information systems. In this research using a driving simulator, EFRP (Eye Fixation Related Potential) was measured for evaluating driving attention and distraction while tasking cognitive workload, n-back tasks. The result of EFRP was compared with driver behaviors. Results suggest that EFRP is able to use for a method of evaluating driving workload, however, the analysis of driver behavior is difficult to find driving attention and distraction in the case of free flow of traffic situation.

운전자 작업부하를 평가하기 위해 다양한 평가지표가 개발되어 활용되고 있으나, 기존의 작업부하 평가지표의 경우 개별 운전자의 운전습관과 주행패턴을 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 또한, 운전자마다 체감하는 작업부하량과 작업부하를 극복하는 능력은 개인차가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 개별 운전자의 주행패턴을 반영한 새로운 작업부하 평가지표를 도출하였다. 개별 운전자의 주행패턴을 반영하기 위해 운전자 별 Steering Velocity 절대값의 평균을 임계값으로 설정하고 임계값을 초과하는 영역의 Steering Velocity 면적의 합을 계량화한 ESA (Erratic Steering Velocity Area)를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 주행 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 자율주행차가 비자율차와 혼재되어 주행하는 군집주행 환경을 구축하여 비자율차의 운전자가 군집주행 환경에서 어떠한 영향을 받는지를 ESA를 활용하여 평가하였다. 주행 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 군집유무에 따른 일반 비자율차 운전자의 반응행태자료를 추출하여 NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) 점수와 운전자 작업부하 평가지표간의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 차로변경 시나리오에서는 다양한 운전자 작업부하 평가지표 중 ESA가 NASA-TLX 점수와 상관관계가 가장 큰 것으로 나타나 ESA의 유용성을 확인하였다.

New equipment that is useful for driving is developing every day. Navigation is one of the most popular equipment among them. Telematics market including navigation is getting bigger and bigger. However, traffic accident from using telematics equipment is also increasing. Drivers may lose glance using navigation, and driver's workload will also grow by driver's distraction. This thesis is base on the study about the influence on the drivers' workload by using the telematics equipment. Previous study of drivers' workload used psychological method and behavior test method, but it was less connection with telematics equipment. The main object of this thesis is measuring the workload according to the telematics usage by HMI (Human Machine Interface) in the virtual reality. Therefore, we developed GPS simulator, and made an experiment of whether using the navigation or not on the highway and an experiment of the location of navigation in downtown. The result of these experiments is that workload when driver used navigation was higher than when driver didn't use navigation. In addition, workload was different according to the location, and HUD (Head-Up Display) was especially higher than other locations but also its information delivery ability was the best.

CNS (Car Navigation System) is the most compatible candidate among various in-vehicle information systems as a provider of ITS (Intelligence Transport Systems) information. It generally consists of remote controller, display, CD-changer, GPS receiver and so on. Among them, display is the most important and critical element of the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) suggesting the digital map to the driver. Therefore, it is certain that the display gives cognitive, physical, mental and visual workloads to the driver which are directly related with the driver's and road safety with the success of ITS. Until now, various human factors techniques have been developed and applied to estimate the driver's workload and to collect the driver's requirements of the CNS digital map, for example, mental workload assessment, visual activity analysis, cognitive analysis and so on. In addition to these kinds of techniques, this research performed the human sensibility ergonomics approach to directly investigate and evaluate the driver's requirements and sensibilities of the real products.

The aim of this research was to compare driver's workload among AHS (Automate Highway Systems) road sections in a virtual AHS environment that is based on a re Korean expressway in order to predict and compare the workloads imposed by the change (driver-vehicle interface and vehicle control authority. Road sections included the M (Manual Lane), TL1 (Transition Lane to enter the automated lane), AL (Automated Lane TL2 (Transition Lane to enter the manual lane after the end of automated driving), an post-AHS manual lane.
