Abstract
The main research question that this thesis tries to answer is how drivers during
high task demand situations assign priority to the various (sub)goals, and hence to the
various (sub)tasks. More specifically, do drivers adapt their behaviour in high task
demands, do tasks that are irrelevant to the driving task receive less attention than relevant
tasks, how do drivers choose between goals when they are equally relevant for the main
goal in driving? These are important questions: car driving is a time-critical and safetycritical
task, and the assignment of priorities to subtasks may be of vital importance, both
for the driver and for other traffic participants.
