Compensatory behavior for mental workload induced by freeway destination signs
On the one hand, the effort invested by drivers increased with the workload. On the other hand, when the workload exceeded a particular degree, compensatory driving behavior was triggered, which in turn reduced the workload. There was no discernible difference in the effectiveness of the compensatory strategies employed by professional drivers and nonprofessional drivers under complex destination signs. The findings could provide safety considerations for the design of traffic signs.
