Abstract

ACT-R connected vehicles distract-R distraction saliency map
Connected vehicles offer great potential for new sources of information, but may also introduce new sources of distraction. This paper compares three methods to quantify distraction, and focuses on one method: computational models of driver behavior. An integration of a saliency map and the Distract-R prototyping and evaluation system is proposed as a potential model. The saliency map captures the bottom-up influences of visual attention and this influence is integrated with top-down influences captured by Distract-R. The combined model will assess the effect of coordinating salient visual features and drivers' expectations, and in using both together, generate more robust predictions of performance.
