The top five drivers of workload are inspection, school self-evaluation, administration, target setting and curriculum change.
"Accountability is an essential part of our publicly-funded education system but it is also one of the main drivers of workload," Whiteman said.
Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, says: "The government accepts that its own rushed and hasty implementation of policy is a major driver of teacher workload.
Clinical complexity and polypharmacy are major drivers of GP workload which have to be taken into account in delivering a clinical intervention to improve outcomes for younger patients with multimorbidity in primary care.
Test results show that the developed error reduction ratio causality method can effectively identify the important variables that relate to the variation of driver workload, and the support vector regression based model can successfully and robustly estimate workload.
The study of driver workload management — some would point to the irony in this reaction to a situation partly created by automakers themselves — is progressing alongside the efforts of the planners who dream up new generations of infotainment features.
Studies of driver workload have a long history, but a milestone came in 2003 when the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, a unit of the Transportation Department — in conjunction with Delphi, the giant parts supplier, Ford Motor and several universities — began a research project to quantify distractions and driving situations as a way to generate workload estimates.
In the current study, carried out in an instrumented vehicle on a test track, we used a text-reading task as distraction to examine whether the type and timing of driving demands, and the formatting of text, influence drivers' strategic decision making and tactical time sharing in a situation in which drivers are fully aware of workload levels and transitions.
Results suggest that blink duration (BD), with respect to blink rate (BR), is a more sensitive and reliable indicator of driver visual workload.
Most of Lane-Keeping Assistance Systems are designed to regulate the lateral deviation of vehicle that may interfere the driver's maneuver in some cases resulting in deterioration of driver's workload.
