  The level of automation in vehicles will significantly increase over the next
decade. As automation will become more and more common, vehicles will not be
able to master all traffic related situations for a long time by themselves. In
such situations, the driver must take over and steer the vehicle through the
situation. One of the important questions is when the takeover should be
performed. Many decisive factors must be considered. On the one hand, the
current traffic situation including roads, traffic light and other road users,
especially vulnerable road users, and on the other hand, the state of the
driver must be considered. The goal is to combine neurocognitive measurement of
the drivers state and the static and dynamic traffic related data to develop an
interpretation of the current situation. This situation analysis should be the
basis for the determination of the best takeover point.
