TX18: Cognitive Workload and Fatigue Study

Abstract

This project was conducted as a joint effort between the U.S. Army TARDEC's Ground Vehicle Simulation Laboratory (GVSL), The Army Research Laboratory-Human Research and Engineering Directorate (ARLHRED), Joint Program Office, Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected Vehicles (JPO-MRAP), and DCS Corporation. The experiment was conducted on the TARDEC?s Ride Motion Simulator in which 14 Marine Corps NCOs completed both cognitive workload and fatigue tasks. The objective of this study is to try to attempt to objectively measure and predict vehicle crew member cognitive load and fatigue using physiological measures such as electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking. This report addresses the design, setup and execution of the study. Analysis of the cognitive loading and fatigue data is currently ongoing by JPO-MRAP and ARL-HRED and not presented here.
