Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of the different driving experience and gender on the driver's situation awareness (SA) and the mental workload (MWL). A PC-based driving simulator was used to present experiment task and SA task. The MWL measures in this study consisted of the physiological measures and the subjective assessment. The results showed that with the increasing of traffic, the driving performance did not worsen, however participant's MWL increased, at the same time, me participant's SA performance deteriorated. We also found that female participants got better SA performance than male participants. However we seldom found the significant effect of driving experience on the drivers' driving performance, SA performance, and the MWL score.
