ISO/TS 14198 is an international standard on road vehicles that provide methods to assess driver attentional demand due to the use of in-vehicle systems.
ISO/TS 14198 provides procedures that can be used as a secondary task in a dual-task setting to determine whether that evaluation setting is standardized and valid for purposes of assessing driver attentional demand due to the use of an in-vehicle system.
ISO/TS 14198 provides guidance on selecting a calibration task given a specific primary task. The primary tasks of interest include those that would be used in the evaluation of attentional demand.
The description of a calibration task includes its application, experimental setup, data collection, and procedures for analysis of results.
The purpose of ISO/TS 14198 is not to define a reference criterion as to whether a given secondary task is suitable for use while driving. Although specific settings of parameters of a calibration task might be used to realize such a predefined pass/fail criterion, does not provide such a criterion for a given level of attentional demand.
ISO/TS 14198 on road vehicles is useful for:
A calibration task is a type of reference task used for the purpose of comparing different tests or test results between sites, or over time at a given site. ISO/TS 14198 provides the principle and types of calibration tasks.
Development of the calibration tasks and associated procedures is given in ISO/TS 14198.
Description of critical tracking task (CTT), surrogate reference task (SURT), and N-back, their operation, set up methods, and test conditions are provided in ISO/TS 14198 along with the participant’s details and participants instructions.
The calibration assessment using a primary task performance measure is also specified in ISO/TS 14198.
Overall, ISO/TS 14198 guides you to assess the effect on driving performance of the driver attentional demand due to driver interaction with an information, entertainment, and control or communication system while a vehicle is in motion. It helps transport information and control systems to provide detailed and accurate information to pass onto customers and improve their customer service.
