Driving distracted with friends: Effect of passengers and driver distraction on young drivers’ behavior

Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2019
Both passengers and driver distraction can have negative effects on young driver behavior. However, it is not known how these two concepts interact to influence driver behavior. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of passenger presence and driver distraction on young drivers' behavior.

The Distracted Driver

Reviews of Human Factors and Ergonomics, 2011
This chapter investigates driver distraction, a pressing road safety issue. First, research findings regarding the demands placed on drivers by the primary driving tasks and various non-driving-related secondary tasks are reviewed. Second, promising theories and models are reviewed for characterizing how driver distraction is caused and how it affects

Driver Distraction Assessment Using Driver Modeling

2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2013
Characterizing individual human drivers is of increasing interest for applications like adaptive driver assistance or monitoring. Describing the human driver by means of control-theoretic driver models constitutes a promising approach. In this paper, we apply a driver model adopted from literature to real-road driving of a distraction experiment in ...

Preface to the Special Section on Driver Distraction

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2004
Beginning with the introduction of the car radio, there have been concerns regarding how in-vehicle technology might undermine driving safety. Those concerns are particularly apparent today as many worry about the safety consequences of introducing vastly more complex technologies into the car, most prominently regarding the use of cell phones while ...

Sources of Driver Distraction

2008
This chapter presents a taxonomic description of the various sources of driver distraction that are currently known to exist. The taxonomy is derived from selected major studies that have made use of secondary crash-based data sources collected by agencies, from selected major observational studies, and from the definition of driver distraction ...
