However, processing information from ADAS requires operating expenses of mental workload that drivers incur from their limited attentional resources. The change in driving condition can modulate drivers' workload and potentially impair drivers' interaction with ADAS. This paper shows how the measure of cardiac activity (heart rate and the indexes of autonomic nervous system (ANS)) could discriminate the influence of different driving conditions on drivers' workload associated with attentional resources engaged while driving with ADAS. Fourteen drivers performed a car-following task with visual ADAS in a simulated driving. Drivers' workload was manipulated in two driving conditions: one in monotonous condition (constant speed) and another in more active condition (variable speed). Results showed that drivers' workload was similarly affected, but the amount of attentional resources allocation was slightly distinct between both conditions. The analysis of main effect of time demonstrated that drivers' workload increased over time without the alterations in autonomic indexes regardless of driving condition. However, the main effect of driving condition produced a higher level of sympathetic activation on variable speed driving compared to driving with constant speed. Variable speed driving requires more adjustment of steering wheel movement (SWM) to maintain lane-keeping performance, which led to higher level of task involvement and increased task engagement. The proposed measures appear promising to help designing new adaptive working modalities for ADAS on the account of variation in driving condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4039313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,14]],"date-time":"2018-02-14T14:54:42Z","timestamp":1518620082000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Analysis of Autonomic Indexes on Drivers' Workload to Assess the Effect of Visual ADAS on User Experience and Driving Performance in Different Driving Conditions"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Dedy","family":"Ariansyah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, Milan 20156, Italy e-mail:"}]},{"given":"Giandomenico","family":"Caruso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, Milan 20156, Italy e-mail:"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Ruscio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, Milan 20156, Italy e-mail:"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Bordegoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mem.
