PAD could potentially increase comfort, road safety, and traffic efficiency. As during manual driving, users might engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs). However, studies systematically examining NDRT execution during PAD are rare and most importantly, no established methodologies to systematically evaluate driver distraction during PAD currently exist. The current project\u2019s goal was to take the initial steps towards developing a test protocol for systematically evaluating NDRT\u2019s effects during PAD. The methodologies used for manual driving were extended to PAD. Two generic take-over situations addressing system limits of a given PAD regarding longitudinal and lateral control were implemented to evaluate drivers\u2019 supervisory and take-over capabilities while engaging in different NDRTs (e.g., manual radio tuning task). The test protocol was evaluated and refined across the three studies (two simulator and one test track). The results indicate that the methodology could sensitively detect differences between the NDRTs\u2019 influences on drivers\u2019 take-over and especially supervisory capabilities. Recommendations were formulated regarding the test protocol\u2019s use in future studies examining the effects of NDRTs during PAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info11070340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]],"date-time":"2020-06-30T09:04:59Z","timestamp":1593507899000},"page":"340","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Methodological Approach towards Evaluating the Effects of Non-Driving Related Tasks during Partially Automated Driving"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Cornelia","family":"Hollander","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Cognitive and Engineering Psychology, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09120 Chemnitz, Germany"}]},{"given":"Nadine","family":"Rauh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Cognitive and Engineering Psychology, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09120 Chemnitz, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1712-6473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frederik","family":"Naujoks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BMW Group, 80937 Munich, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4061-8273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Hergeth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BMW Group, 80937 Munich, Germany"}]},{"given":"Josef F.","family":"Krems","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Cognitive and Engineering Psychology, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09120 Chemnitz, Germany"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Keinath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BMW Group, 80937 Munich, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"de Waard, D., Oberheid, F.O., Flemisch, B., Lorenz, H., and Brookhuis, K.A.
