| In the automotive industry we see an increasing degree of automation. Technically future cars could be able to take over control completely in certain situations if the driver wants to. With no immediate control task drivers possibly shift their attention toward secondary activities in the car, e.g. phoning. But naturally automated control systems can fail and leave it to humans to take over and correct. So far for such situations there is no method to assess the influence of secondary activities on error recognition and reaction ability in the context of automated driving. We propose a new methodology to assess this. In an experiment we found promising results in favour of our approach. |
