The interactive effects of NDRT cognitive complexity and traffic density on takeover performance in level 3 automated driving: a multimodal EEG and behavioral study.

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate how NDRT cognitive complexity and traffic density influence driver takeover performance in Level 3 automated vehicles.
• Conducted a multimodal EEG study to measure cognitive states.
• Assessed behavioral performance during simulated Level 3 automated driving scenarios.
• Analyzed the interaction effects of NDRT cognitive complexity and traffic density.
• Increased traffic density negatively impacts takeover performance.
• Higher cognitive complexity leads to poorer driver responses during takeovers.
• Performance variability is influenced by the interplay of cognitive load and environmental conditions.
