The aim of the study is to describe and analyze several traffic scenarios where simplification of information retrieval and processing can reduce driver workload and increase driver decision capacity in complex situations. The task analysis is primarily an off road study. In our analysis we chose intersections, starting with the unregulated T-junction. The content in the task analysis is not meant as facts, but as a basis for hypothesis and experimental research in the laboratory, and/or with an instrumented vehicle on the test track or on the road. In this work we found that time is very important in deciding when to present different information.
