Abstract

Executing secondary tasks while driving can affect situation awareness, reaction times and response selection by the driver. This may result in a decreased performance of the driver’s control in case of sudden system interventions, e.g. of an intervening emergency function due to a false activation. To date a sufficient literature base concerning systematic implementations of driver distraction in controllability tests is missing. The aim of this chapter is to summarise the methodology used in driver distraction research and to give recommendations which methods could be used in controllability research. Additionally, we will demonstrate the effect of driver distraction on controllability in two exemplary empiric evaluations.
