DRIVER DISTRACTION FROM ELECTRONIC DEVICES: INSIGHTS AND IMPLICATIONS
Although many have an idea of what the term “driver distraction” means, there is no common definition within the research community. This course provides an overview of driver distraction: the problem; how to define it; the current state of research; how to critically evaluate research to make informed decisions; and the effectiveness of state laws and fleet policies to reduce it. The course summarizes strategies, techniques, and technologies shown to be effective in reducing distracted driving from electronic devices. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By connecting with this web seminar, you will be able to: • Weigh the extent of the driver distraction problem • Define driver distraction • Critically examine the current state of driver distraction research • Identify the strengths and limitations of various research approaches that assess driver distraction from electronic devices • Recognize the difference between various forms of distraction (cognitive, auditory, visual, manual) • Assess the effectiveness of policy efforts to reduce driver distraction from electronic devices • Explain that all cell phone “tasks” do not have equal risk • Determine effective strategies, techniques, and technologies for minimizing distracted driving WHO SHOULD ATTEND Those interested in being equipped to critically examine the current state of research in driver distraction. Vehicle manufacturers, OEMs, and cell phone providers and manufacturers can use the information presented to develop engineering solutions in this area. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS • Definition of Driver Distraction & Overview of the Problem • Forms of Distraction • Overview of Methods to Assess Driver Distraction • Possible Reasons for Discrepancies • Effectiveness of Policy Efforts to Reduce Driver Distraction from Electronic Devices • Research Needs/Next Steps • Minimizing Distracted Driving from Electronic Devices INSTRUCTOR Jeffrey Hickman Group Leader, Virginia Tech Transportation Institute
