The report presents the identification of a standard heavy vehicle configuration and driver tasks that would serve as baseline conditions for measuring workload. A subject matter expert and review of Department of Transportation manuals determined that a standard configuration would have the following functional characteristics: combination tractor and single trailer vehicle; conventional cab configuration with sleeper box optional; flat panel dashboard; diesel power with air brakes; and an absence of high-technology devices. Standard driving tasks reviewed in Task 1 and those results were categorized, rewritten for application, and screened by a subject matter expert, thus identifying key driving tasks. A list of basic driver behaviors (sub-tasks) is presented to complement the key driving tasks.
