Cognitive distraction has been identified as a critical factor for automobile crashes in the United States. Previous research indicates that cognitive tasks such as phone conversations may take attention away from the driving task, degrading driving performance. One continuing issue with cognitive distraction research is establishing a reliable, continuous, online measure of driver workload. Blink rate is a potential candidate for such a measure. The present driving simulator experiment examines whether blink rate is sensitive to variations of driver workload while controlling the vehicle. Participants will navigate simulated environments while performing the auditory 0-and 2-back task with their blink and driving performance data continuously recorded during the drive. Blink and performance data will be compared not only between the different workload conditions, but also to predictions of a human driver performance workload model based on the Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT), developed by the US Army Research Laboratory.

Sex differences in the psychomotor performance characteristics of 89 male and 74 female licensed drivers were evaluated through the use of a driving simulator. Thirteen measurements of steering input, accelerator input, speed maintenance, and lateral placement were made. Data were subjected to a series of multiple discriminant analyses. Discrimination was found between sex groupings, sex/violation groupings, sex/accident groups, sex/driving exposure groupings, sex/type of driving groupings, sex/risk groupings, and sex/driver education groupings. Since basic differences were demonstrated, aspects of the transportation system, such as accident countermeasure efforts and driver education programs which have been primarily developed on the basis of male driving performance data, might be in need of re-evaluation.
