Abstract
In this study, simulated driving program was adopted to get the effects of secondary task and driving experience on driving performance, physiological indices and subjective evaluations of mental workload (MWL). The results showed that the difficulty of secondary task influenced driving performance, physiological indices and MWL. The drivers' mental workload increased and driving performance decreased along with the increase of secondary task's difficulty. Physiological indices reflected drivers' tension, which could be used as effective indices of monitoring drivers' condition. Besides, experience also influenced driving performance. This study provided academic support for developing devices monitoring drivers' physiological and psychological conditions.
