- METHOD TO DETERMINE DRIVER WORKLOAD FUNCTION AND USAGE OF DRIVER WORKLOAD FUNCTION FOR HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for objectively measuring a driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle user interface. The method comprises: objectively measuring a driver's ability to perform each of a plurality of calibrating tasks of various difficulty levels including easy, intermediate, and difficult tasks; Generating a scale for evaluating a driver's ability to operate a user interface, the scale being customized to the driver based on an objective measure of a driver's ability to perform each calibration task;; Objectively measuring a driver's ability to operate a function of a motor vehicle user interface; And objectively evaluating a driver's ability to operate the function of the motor vehicle user interface using the measure to determine whether the user interface is appropriate for the driver.;
