TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Driver workload and secondary task modality while driving on horizontal curves JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Jeong, Heejin A1 - Liu, Yili SP - 1763 EP - 1767 VL - 61 IS - 1 N2 - High driver workload has been considered as a risk factor in motor vehicle crashes. To minimize the number of crashes and improve driving safety, it is necessary to investigate driver workload and the most influential factor that affects driver workload. In this study, we examined the effects of road geometry, driving performance (by both steering wheel and pedal controls), and secondary task modality type on driver workload. A hierarchical ordinary least squares multiple regression analysis revealed that visually demanding secondary task predicted higher driver workload. This finding could help in-vehicle interface designs to minimize driver workload and improve driving safety.
