Abstract

This paper studies the impact of different types of secondary tasks on older drivers’ driving safety. The study used a dual-task experimental design, the older participants need to perform three different secondary tasks while performing driving tasks on the simulated driver, including touch tasks, reading tasks, and conversation tasks. The study collected various metrics of older drivers in various distraction types of tasks, such as vehicle position, speed, acceleration, brake pedal force, distraction times and reaction time to emergencies. Results showed that the touch task has the longest reaction time and the most possibility of collision; the reading task has the largest lane offset and lateral acceleration. The indicators of the conversation task perform better than the other two tasks.
