Synopsis

The concept of situation awareness (SA) has been used in the analysis of driving behavior during the past ten years. However, there has been no study examining the relation between the three fundamental aspects of SA (perception, comprehension and projection) and the three types of driving behavior, including operational, tactical and strategic performance. The aim of this study was to develop a more complete understanding of relationships between driver cognitive abilities, situation awareness (SA), and driving behaviors. Objective measures of driver SA and performance were used to assess the role of cognitive abilities and experience in three types of driving tasks when using a cell phone and encountering a hazardous situation (a vehicle intruding into a driver?s lane).
