2nd Workshop on Situation Awareness in Automotive Evaluation & Design

In recent decades, situation awareness (SA) has gained importance as a promising cognitive theory, which can support both driver behavior research and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) design. SA theory can be used to both determine and assess drivers' dynamic knowledge needs under different contexts. Additionally, based on an understanding of SA requirements, designers can develop automotive user interfaces (UI) that supply the needed information to the driver in the most useful format to directly support their SA [1]. This workshop aims to provide a high level overview of SA as it relates to the automotive industry - starting with an understanding of SA and SA information needs (requirements), continuing on to the application of several useful SA measures, and finally exploring the application of SA to ADAS design.
