Abstract:
The study aims to define a methodology to assess driver workload by means of a racing simulator applying the dual task paradigm. The experimental plan consists of a series of secondary tasks (i.e., math calculation, imaginative, monitoring and communication tasks) to be performed in a driving simulated context. The preliminary results evidenced that the methodology is a fundamental step forward in order to improve driving abilities of young professional drivers. The described methodology puts the basis for the definition of training programmes for managing high workload racing situations.
