Methodological Resource

metric or index

A new or refined quantitative metric or index: composite workload indices, distraction potential scores, lane-keeping metrics, eyes-off-road thresholds, safety performance indicators, demand-rating scales. The contribution is the metric definition and computation itself, distinct from the full procedure around it (measurement_protocol).
