Abstract

This paper suggests the methodology for the ergonomic assessment of the navigation system driver that corresponds to the subjective measurement of the driver's mental workload by rating his or her own driving task. For this approach, Revision of NASA-Task Load Index (RNASA-TLX) was developed which translated and revised the version of NASA-TLX that is generally accepted an efficient and powerful method for evaluating the in-vehicle information system. To venify RNASA- TLS, an experiment was conducted in a real road situation, because the result of the laboratory approach is uncertain and has the differences from the real road test.
