Download or read book A procedure to estimate the effects of cognitive and visual distraction of in car tasks on situation awareness while driving written by Martin R. K. Baumann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Ergonomics, , language: English, abstract: Der Einfluss von Zusatzsystemen auf das Situationsbewusstsein beim Fahren - Ein Verfahren zur Messung kognitiver und visueller Ablenkungswirkung Um sicher im Straßenverkehr mobil zu sein, benötigen Fahrer eine korrekte mentale Repräsentation der aktuellen Verkehrssituation. Diese Repräsentation resultiert aus einem komplexen Verstehensprozess, der durch die Verwendung von Zusatzsystemen im Fahrzeug beeinträchtigt werden kann, insbesondere wenn diese Systeme auf visuelle und / oder kognitive Verarbeitungskapazitäten zurückgreifen. Um diesem Ressourcenkonfl ikt und der damit verbundenen Ablenkungswirkung vorzubeugen, ist es wichtig, frühzeitig im Entwicklungsprozess von Zusatzsystemen deren Beanspruchungshöhe zu bestimmen. Dieses Forschungsvorhaben evaluiert ein einfach zu implementierendes Verfahren, das auf das Zweitaufgabenparadigma zurückgreift mit dem Ziel, simultan die visuelle und kognitive Beanspruchung von Zusatzsystemen im Fahrzeug zu erfassen. Verschiedenste Fahrerinformationssysteme zählen mittlerweile zur Grundausstattung vieler Fahrzeuge. In der Auslegung dieser Systeme ist es wichtig, dass die Ausführung der Fahraufgabe durch die Bedienung dieser Systeme nicht sicherheitskritisch beeinträchtigt wird. Dieser Beitrag stellt ein einfaches Messverfahren vor, das es frühzeitig im Entwicklungsprozess von Fahrerinformationssystemen ermöglicht, deren visuelle und kognitive Beanspruchung an den Fahrer abzuschätzen und die Auswirkungen auf das Situationsbewusstsein des Fahrers vorherzusagen.

Download or read book Attention written by Arthur F. Kramer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of attention in the laboratory has been crucial to understanding the mechanisms that support several different facets of attentional processing: Our ability to both divide attention among multiple tasks and stimuli, and selectively focus it on task-relevant information, while ignoring distracting task-irrelevant information, as well as how top-down and bottom-up factors influence the way that attention is directed within and across modalities. Equally important, however, is research that has attempted to scale up to the real world this empirical work on attention that has traditionally been well controlled by limited laboratory paradigms and phenomena. These types of basic and theoretically guided applied research on attention have benefited immeasurably from the work of Christopher Wickens. This book honors Wickens' many important contributions to the study of attention by bringing together researchers who examine real-world attentional problems and questions in light of attentional theory. The research fostered by Wickens' contributions will enrich not only our understanding of human performance in complex real-world systems, but also reveal the gaps on our knowledge of basic attentional processes.

Book Driver Distraction and Inattention

Download or read book Driver Distraction and Inattention written by John D. Lee and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that, in the United States, around 20 percent of all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a contributing factor. This figure increases if other forms of inattention are considered. Evidence (reviewed in this volume) suggests that the situation is similar in other countries and that driver distraction and inattention are even more dangerous as contributing factors in crashes than drug and alcohol intoxication. Having a solid evidence-base from which to develop injury countermeasures is a cornerstone of road-safety management. This book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction and inattention. With 24 chapters by 52 authors from more than 10 countries, it provides important new perspectives on the definition and meaning of driver distraction and inattention, the mechanisms that characterize them, the measurement of their effects, strategies for mitigating their effects, and recommendations for further research. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and countermeasure development to prevent and mitigate the potentially adverse effects of driver distraction and driver inattention, and, in doing so, to save lives.

Book Driver Behaviour and Training  Volume VI

Download or read book Driver Behaviour and Training Volume VI written by Lisa Dorn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s society must confront major land transport problems. The human and financial costs of vehicle accidents are increasing, with road traffic accidents predicted to become the third largest cause of death and injury across the world by 2020. Several social trends pose threats to safety, including increasing car ownership and traffic congestion, the increased complexity of the human-vehicle interface, the ageing of populations in the developed world, and a possible influx of young vehicle operators in the developing world. The Human Factors in Road and Rail Transport series aims to make a timely contribution to these issues by focusing on the driver as a contributing causal agent in road and rail accidents. The series seeks to reflect the increasing demand for safe, efficient and economical land-based transport by reporting on the state-of-the-art science that may be applied to reduce vehicle collisions, improve the usability of vehicles and enhance the operator’s wellbeing and satisfaction. It will do so by disseminating new theoretical and empirical research from specialists in the behavioural and allied disciplines, including traffic psychology, human factors and ergonomics. The series captures topics such as driver behaviour, driver training, in-vehicle technology, driver health and driver assessment. Specially commissioned works from internationally recognised experts in the field will provide authoritative accounts of the leading approaches to this significant real-world problem.

Book Understanding Driving

Download or read book Understanding Driving written by John A. Groeger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book closely examines what is involved in driving. It identifies the aspects of perception, attention, learning, memory, decision making and action control which are drawn upon in order to enable us to drive, and the brain systems involved. It attempts to show how studying tasks such as driving can help to understand how these fundamental aspects of cognition combine to facilitate performance in complex everyday tasks. In doing so it shows how a very broad range of laboratory based findings can be applied, and that through our attempts to apply this knowledge to complex everyday tasks, we gain, in return, a greater understanding of fundamental aspects of human cognition.

Book Performance Metrics for Assessing Driver Distraction

Download or read book Performance Metrics for Assessing Driver Distraction written by Gary L Rupp and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the study of secondary task demands imposed by in-vehicle devices on the driver while driving. It provides a mechanism for researchers to evaluate how in-vehicle devices such as navigation systems – as well as other devices such as cell phones – affect driver distraction and impact safety. This book, which features the work presented by international experts at the 4th International Driver Metrics Workshop, in June 2008, offers a summary of the current state of driver metrics research. Edited by workshop moderator Dr. Gary L. Rupp, the book introduces vital information to support the design of in-vehicle information and communication systems (IVIS). Topics covered include: • Driver object and event detection • Peripheral detection tasks (PDT) • Tactile-based detection tasks (TDT) • Modified Sternberg method for assessing visual and cognitive load of in-vehicle tasks • Modified Sternberg method for assessing peripheral detection task and lane change tests • The relationship between performance metrics and crash risk • Characterizing driver behaviors observed in naturalist driving studies • Developing metrics from lane change test studies

Book Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation  Part III

Download or read book Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation Part III written by Neville Stanton and published by AHFE International (USA). This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Factors and Ergonomics have made a considerable contribution to the research, design, development, operation and analysis of transportation systems which includes road and rail vehicles and their complementary infrastructure, aviation and maritime transportation. This book presents recent advances in the Human Factors aspects of Transportation. These advances include accident analysis, automation of vehicles, comfort, distraction of drivers (understanding of distraction and how to avoid it), environmental concerns, in-vehicle systems design, intelligent transport systems, methodological developments, new systems and technology, observational and case studies, safety, situation awareness, skill development and training, warnings and workload. This book brings together the most recent human factors work in the transportation domain, including empirical research, human performance and other types of modeling, analysis, and development. The issues facing engineers, scientists, and other practitioners of human factors in transportation research are becoming more challenging and more critical. The common theme across these sections is that they deal with the intersection of the human and the system. Moreover, many of the chapter topics cross section boundaries, for instance by focusing on function allocation in NextGen or on the safety benefits of a tower controller tool. This is in keeping with the systemic nature of the problems facing human factors experts in rail and road, aviation and maritime research– it is becoming increasingly important to view problems not as isolated issues that can be extracted from the system environment, but as embedded issues that can only be understood as a part of an overall system.

Book Reduction of Environmental Distraction to Facilitate Cognitive Performance

Download or read book Reduction of Environmental Distraction to Facilitate Cognitive Performance written by Annelies Vredeveldt and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When faced with a difficult task, people often look at the sky or close their eyes. This behavior is functional: the reduction of distractions in the environment can improve performance on cognitive tasks, including memory retrieval. Reduction of visual distractions can be operationalized through eye-closure, gaze aversion, or by comparing exposure to simple and complex visual displays, respectively. Reduction of auditory distractions is typically examined by comparing performance under quiet and noisy conditions. Theoretical reasoning regarding this phenomenon draws on various psychological principles, including embodied cognition, cognitive load, and modality-specific interference. Practical applications of the research topic are diverse. For example, the findings could be used to improve performance in forensic settings (e.g., eyewitness testimony), educational settings (e.g., exam performance), occupational settings (e.g., employee productivity), or medical settings (e.g., medical history reporting). This Research Topic welcomes articles from all areas of psychology relating to the reduction of distractions to improve task performance. Articles can address (but are not limited to) new empirical findings, comprehensive reviews, theoretical frameworks, opinion pieces, or discussions of practical applications.
