Abstract

This study investigates the influence of working memory capacity on drivers’ situation awareness during takeover in a human-machine co-driving environment. Using Prescan, a simulated autonomous highway driving scenario was created, where 26 participants engaged in 25 min of autonomous driving and performed takeover in response to sudden incidents. WMC was assessed via the Automated Operation Span Task, while SA was evaluated using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT) combined with eye-tracking technology. Results indicated that participants with high WMC outperformed those with low WMC in SA scores, fixation count, fixation duration percentage, and scanpath length, demonstrating superior visual scanning and environmental perception abilities. These findings provide theoretical support for optimizing takeover mechanisms in autonomous driving systems.
