Driving Task Demand

About This Document

The objectives of Task 2c (develop and validate equations) were to determine (1) how various vehicle parameters that are measurable by technologies in the SAVE-IT program can be combined to predict drivers’ subjective ratings of driving task demand (especially as a function of road geometry and traffic) and (2) when demand is rated by drivers as being too high to permit safe completion of specific telematics tasks, with task duration being a factor of particular interest.
