Effects of moderate heat stress on driver vigilance in a moving vehicle / David P. Wyon, Inger Wyon and Fredrik Norin

Sumario: The present experiment was designed to investigate whether moderate heat stress will reduce driver vigilance for unexpected signals. As the signals used in the experiment may all occur occasionally in the driving context, the approach may be considered as sampling part of a subject's attentional field while driving by means of an embedded secondary task, i.e. one that is not artificially added
