Abstract
Due to the temporary abandonment of driving tasks in conditionally automated driving (SAE Level 3), the driver is able to devote the available time and attention to non-driving related activities, while the vehicle takes on more and more driving tasks. The aim of this work is to investigate how much space the driver needs for non-driving activities and to what extent the space requirements of different non-driving activities differ. A mock-up study is carried out at the Chair of Ergonomics at the Technical University of Munich, in which test subjects carry out various non-driving related activities. The longitudinal distance between the center of the steering wheel and the subject’s chest is measured, which serves as a measure of the required space of non-driving activities. The data shows significant differences concerning the factor “activities”.
