Abstract
Assessment of heavy vehicle driver workload can benefit from earlier research on pilot workload. Four workload issues are particularly salient: performance, methodology, measurement, and conceptual problems. Since an airplane is not a heavy ground vehicle, and since there are many differences between pilots and truck drivers, aviation workload tools cannot be applied to ground vehicles without some caveats. A summary of ten lessons learned from aviation workload is given.Keywords
