We plan to demonstrate a PC-based driving simulator developed by the US Air Force for assessing situation awareness (SA). This simulator is a flexible tool that allows researchers to assess drivers' SA using a variety of different probes. The simulator allows assessment of explicit knowledge used in driving, as is done in a number of SA assessment tools. However, unlike other SA assessment tools, the simulator also allows assessment of implicit, automatized knowledge.
