From Concept to Action - Measuring General and Applied Mental Models in the Context of Automated Driving

This paper presents a research concept for comparing general and applied mental models in automated driving, with a focus on the transition between automation levels. The research concept measures general and applied mental models, gaze movement, and driving performance within a driving simulator. It aims to correlate different mental models with driving performance, to identify how mental models should be characterized for safe interaction, and to provide insights for developing effective training concepts to improve user interaction with automated systems.
