Abstract:
Endsley’s Situation Awareness (SA) theory and a variety of SA-measurement methods like SAGAT and SPAM aim to explain how humans make errors and assess the SA of operators in dynamic workspaces. However, in order to evaluate the impact of future assistance systems on the SA of operators at design time, predictions about operator performance are needed. In this work, existing SA measurement methods are used to construct a cognitive model which predicts driver reaction times on the basis of SA to road and system events. Ecological Interface Design variants will be used as a test case to show how information presentation influences driver performance.
