105. Capturing the Mind: Non-Driving-Related Tasks as a Window Into Cognitive Engagement in Automated Driving
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionSupervising automated driving requires visual, manual, and cognitive engagement from the driver. While visual and manual engagement measures are already developed and implemented, cognitive engagement is much more difficult to observe. Considering drivers’ self-regulatory behavior when involved in non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs) during partial automation, the demand and duration of these NDRTs may indicate a certain level of driver cognitive engagement. The study explores a rating measure to partially estimate driver cognitive engagement based on the demand and duration of NDRTs and evaluate the psychometric properties of the NDRT rating. We examined the internal consistency of the measure by computing split-half reliability, tested its sensitivity to factor manipulation, and assessed criterion validity. Our initial findings suggest that the method is reliable and valid, showing satisfactory internal consistency, sensitivity to experimental manipulation, and criterion validity in predicting the takeover performance of supervising vehicle automation.
