Abstract:

A simulation model for predicting driver behavior and system performance when the automobile driver performs concurrent steering and auxiliary in-vehicle tasks is described. The model was used in support of an experimental study to develop evaluation methods and human factors guidelines for in-vehicle information systems. It is an integration of two computerized models: the procedural model and the driver/vehicle model. The procedural component deals primarily with in-vehicle tasks and with the task-selection and attention-allocation procedures, whereas the driver/vehicle component predicts closed-loop continuous control (steering) behavior. Given descriptions of the driving environment and of driver information-processing limitations, the resulting integrated model allows one to predict a variety of performance measures for typical scenarios. Application of the model to experiment design is discussed, and quantitative examples are provided for model calibration and for predicting the effects of in-car telephone use on steering performance.
