by the same test participant during one or
more drives. There is no limit to the number
of testable tasks that may be evaluated by a
test participant.
The revised text of Subsection VI.E.12
appends the following sentences to the
above section:
However, it should be noted that including
multiple tasks in a single session may lead
to performance degradation due to test
participant fatigue or confusion.
Additionally, to ensure that the testing of
each task reflects the demands of that task
alone, all instructions, practice and testing
for a single task should be completed before
beginning a new task.
3. Clarification of Maximum Allowable
Number of Eye Glances Longer Than 2.0
Seconds
Subsequent to publication of the
Phase 1 NHTSA Driver Distraction
Guidelines, NHTSA became aware that
the language used in Subsection
VI.E.14.a, which describes the
maximum number of eye glances longer
than 2.0 seconds that may be observed
for a conforming task during the driving
simulator test procedure, was confusing
to some readers. To improve the
understandability of Subsection
VI.E.14.a, that section has been revised
as follows and an illustrative table has
been added. Similar clarifying edits
have also been made to Subsection
VI.E.14.b, which describes the criteria
for the mean duration of glances.
The original text of Subsection
VI.E.14.a and b. read:
14. Acceptance Criteria. A testable task
should be locked out from performance by
drivers while driving unless the following
three criteria are all met:
a. For at least 21 of the 24 test participants,
no more than 15 percent (rounded up) of the
total number of eye glances away from the
forward road scene have durations of greater
than 2.0 seconds while performing the
testable task one time.
b. For at least 21 of the 24 test participants,
the mean duration of all eye glances away
from the forward road scene is less than or
equal to 2.0 seconds while performing the
testable task one time.
The text of Subsections VI.E.14.a and
VI.E.14.b have been revised to read as
follows:
a. For at least 21 of the 24 test participants,
no more than 15 percent (rounded up to the
next whole number) of each participant’s
total number of eye glances away from the
forward road scene have durations of greater
than 2.0 seconds while performing the
testable task one time.

* Note: See Section VI.E.14.b. If a testable task takes a test participant exactly one glance to perform, that glance must be no longer than 2.0
seconds in order to have a mean duration that does not exceed 2.0 seconds for all eye glances.
b. For at least 21 of the 24 test participants,
the mean duration of each participant’s eye
glances away from the forward road scene is
less than or equal to 2.0 seconds while
performing the testable task one time.

4. Typographical Error
A typographical error was found in
Section VI.G.4.b of the Phase 1 NHTSA
Driver Distraction Guidelines. The
phrase ‘‘How to drive the occlusion
apparatus while not performing a
testable task,’’ should read ‘‘Become
familiar with the occlusion apparatus
operation while not performing a
testable task.’’ This change merely
corrects the Guidelines language
without substantively changing the
content.
5. Inadvertent Omission
The agency inadvertently neglected to
include a recommendation regarding
multiple testable task testing in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Sep 15, 2014
Jkt 232001
Subsection VI.G., which relates to the
occlusion test protocol. As discussed
above, a recommendation regarding
multiple task testing was included in
the section related to driving simulator
testing. In order to provide consistent
recommendations for both test
protocols, the agency has included a
recommendation similar to the revised
Subsection VI.E.12 in Subsection
VI.G.18 that reads as follows:
18. Multiple Testable Task Testing. To
improve testing efficiency, multiple
(different) testable tasks may be performed
by the same test participant during one or
more sessions. There is no limit to the
number of testable tasks that may be
evaluated by a test participant. However, it
should be noted that including multiple tasks
in a single session may lead to performance
degradation due to test participant fatigue or
confusion. Additionally, to ensure that the
testing of each task reflects the demands of
that task alone, all instructions, practice and

testing for a single task should be completed
before beginning a new task.
