Investigation of visual demand in a static driving simulator within the ADAM project

Bengler, K. / Huesmann, A. / Praxenthaler, M.

Meanwhile driving simulation is an available technology to evaluate HMI concepts during the development process. Within ADAM (Advanced Driver Attention Metrics) project metrics and measurements are developed and validated, that can be used to evaluate the visual demand of in-car HMI concepts. A second focus is put on the investigation of interruptabiity and the user strategies to shift between primary and secondary task. For this reason 20 subjects had to perform 12 different secondary tasks in a driving simulator setting. The study will give suitable measures to estimate especially visual demand and interruptability of secondary tasks. In the present study the effect of differnt kinds of manual or visual tasks on driving performance was analyzed and performance measures from the primary driving task were correlated to visual behavior. The standard deviation of lateral position for example strongly depends on the motoric requirements of the task; the performance in the car following task on the other hand is highly correlated to total glance time but depends also highly on the duration of the secondary task.
