Demands on driver resources associated with introducing advanced technology into the vehicle

Efforts are underway to provide drivers with high-technology systems directed toward improving travel capability, safety, and comfort, in most cases, these systems cause increases in driver workload. This paper describes and ranks the driver resources that may be needed to service these in-vehicle systems, and briefly cites the literature relevant to the potential conflict between performing the primary task of driving and performing in-vehicle tasks associated with such systems.
