Noy, Y. Ian (1987): Theoretical Review of the Secondary Task Methodology for Evaluating Intelligent Automobile Displays. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 205-209.

“This paper presents a review of the driving research literature in a search for evidence related to secondary task interference on driving. Driving studies employing secondary tasks fall into two broad categories: (a) studies concerned with driver workload, and (b) studies concerned with driver fatigue. A majority of these studies lack a valid theoretical basis for the application of the secondary task technique and the particular choice of secondary task. Few of them examined mutual interference between secondary tasks and driving. Some studies, however, reported interference, implying the presence of resource competition. This should be of concern to equipment designers.”

Noy, Y. Ian (1987): The Tracometer as an Intoxication Warning Device. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 751-755.

“An experiment was conducted to investigate the feasibility of developing an in-vehicle skill-based drunk driver detection and deterrence system. The experiment compared two well-developed psychomotor test devices, the Tracometer and the Critical Tracking Task (CTT), for their ability to detect alcohol intoxication. The Tracometer employed a pursuit tracking task whereas the CTT employed a compensatory tracking task. Twenty male subjects, aged 19 -30 were trained on the Tracometer and the CTT over a three day period. On two subsequent test days, they were treated with either a placebo or alcoholic beverages designed to bring their peak Blood Alcohol concentration (BAC) to 1.2% (1200 mg/L). On each day, the subjects were tested once before treatment and six times after treatment at hourly intervals as their BAC levels declined. The results indicate that the Tracometer was more sensitive than the CTT to the effects of alcohol over a wide range of BAC levels. At a BAC level of 0.8%, performance on the Tracometer deteriorated by 16% whereas performance on the”
