Factors determining speed management during distracted driving (WhatsApp messaging)

Text Messaging During Simulated Driving

OBJECTIVE This research aims to identify the impact of text messaging on simulated driving performance. BACKGROUND In the past decade, a number of on-road, epidemiological, and simulator-based studies reported the negative impact of talking on a cell phone on driving behavior. However, the impact of text messaging on simulated driving performance is still not fully understood. METHOD Forty ...

Publications on Distracted Driving

A study of fatal traffic crashes in Florida examined contributing factors among crashes in which younger (under age 25) drivers were found to be at fault. A case-based analysis was used to improve the accuracy and completeness of the data from the original crash reports. Results were presented using over-representation factors (ORB), a simplified but statistically significant approach to freque...

Theta and Alpha Oscillations in Attentional Interaction during Distracted Driving

Performing multiple tasks simultaneously usually affects the behavioral performance as compared with executing the single task. Moreover, processing multiple tasks simultaneously often involve more cognitive demands. Two visual tasks, lane-keeping task and mental calculation, were utilized to assess the brain dynamics through 32-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded from 14 participants. ...
