METHOD TO DETERMINE DRIVER WORKLOAD FUNCTION AND USAGE OF DRIVER WORKLOAD FUNCTION FOR HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
First Claim
1. A method of objectively measuring a driver'"'"'s ability to operate a motor vehicle user interface comprising:
- objectively measuring the driver'"'"'s ability to perform each one of a plurality of calibration tasks of various degrees of difficulty including an easy task, a medium task, and a difficult task;
generating a scale with which to evaluate the driver'"'"'s ability to operate the user interface, the scale customized for the driver based on the objective measurements of the driver'"'"'s ability to perform each calibration task;
objectively measuring the driver'"'"'s ability to operate a function of the motor vehicle user interface; and
objectively evaluating the driver'"'"'s ability to operate the function of the motor vehicle user interface using the scale to determine if the user interface is appropriate for the driver.
