Abstract

Experiments an a closed-circuit-television driving simulator were designed to answer the question: is there an optimum work-load that (a) sustains performance in long-term driving; and (b) facilitates transitions to new tasks or emergencies? The results affirm (a) with reservations but not; (b) A second experiment is planned and a new measure for work-load proposed.
