Synthese, 2005
Consider the much-discussed case of the distracted driver, who is alleged to successfully navigate his car for miles despite being completely oblivious to his visual states.

On the Philosophical Foundations of the Distracted Driver and Driving Distraction

2008
The philosophical and scientifi c lenses through which we view safety act to constrain the ways by which we seek to understand and improve it. The differentiation among identifi able causal factors and the parsing of collision events into their various physical confi gurations have led to conceptually contingent approaches to the possible solutions we ...

Detecting Driver Distraction Using Smartphones

2015 IEEE 29th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2015
Cell phone usage while driving is a major distraction. Due to the number of accidents that are related to cell phone use while driving, laws have been introduced making the use of a cell phone while driving illegal in several jurisdictions. In this paper, we address a fundamental problem of distinguishing the driver from passengers using ubiquitous ...

A novel method to monitor driver's distractions

CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2010
Many attempts were made in the past to monitor a driver's visual and cognitive distractions. Yet, most of the techniques did not become a practical application due to their contact-based nature of monitoring. In this paper, we describe research that aims to monitor the driver's distractions from a distance.

Measuring Inhibitory Control in Driver Distraction

Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, 2014
Driver distraction research primarily focuses on voluntary distraction. Little known research explicitly evaluates driver susceptibility to involuntary distractions. This paper investigates the relationships between glance behavior in response to irrelevant stimuli in a driving simulator and measures of inhibitory control assessed through a modified ...
