Abstract
Car manufacturers have begun to release products in recent years, such as car navigation systems and other information technology (IT) devices that incorporate a voice-activated interface based on voice recognition technology. This paper presents a study that conducted driving simulator tests to measure the driver's workload when performing certain operations under various conditions and the resultant effect on driving was evaluated. The purpose of the tests was to compare how voice-activated operations, steering wheel switch operations and instrument panel switch operations affected driving behavior. The results clearly determined that the mental distraction level when operating a voice-activated system is substantially lower than that of a traditional manual system.
