Abstract
ABSTRACT: Today, road accidents are a major global problem. In Thailand, the death rate from road accidents is highest in Asia and ASEAN. The average death is 32.7 people per 100,000 people. The factors that cause road accidents are drivers, vehicles, roads, and the environment. The main factor that causes the accident is the driver. The objective of this research was to examine the mental workload of driver with experience (driving license) and inexperience (no driving license) using driving simulations. This research was tested with tools and software to simulate driving cars for recorded error driving (crash), driving behavior and assess the mental workload by NASA-TLX assessment. The sample consisted of 20 people (10 experienced and 10 inexperienced), age range 17-24 years. Experiments using a driving simulator in the driving training mode. The test is divided into 3 stages 1. Driving in narrow path 2. U-turn 3. Back and stop into a narrow path. This test can show the error of driving, time error, behavior of drivers with driving experience and inexperience.
