Taking the load off: investigations of how adaptive cruise control affects mental workload

Article Abstract:

A study reveals that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) has the potential to relieve drivers of mental as well as physical workload. It is found that previous research shows confusing issues about the specific effects of ACC on driver mental workload (MWL) and suggests that further researchers using ACC devices are advised to use variable-speed tasks to ensure that all aspects of device functionality are covered.

Validating task analysis for error identification: Reliability and validity of a human error prediction technique

Article Abstract:

The theoretical and empirical developments for an error prediction methodology called task analysis for error identification (TAFEI) are reported. The result shows that TAFEI is superior to heuristic methods, which supports the idea that structured methods assist in error prediction, and reaches acceptable levels in terms of test-retest reliability and concurrent validity.
