Multiple Resource Modeling of Task Interference in Vehicle Control, Hazard Awareness and In-vehicle Task Performance

The authors describe a computational model of multiple task performance used to predict task interference and subsequent decrements in performance, based on the resource demands of a particular task (i.e., the difficulty) as well as the competition between tasks over limited and overlapping resources. They describe the model components, the computational aspects, and further validate it with data from a simulated driving study.
