A simulation approach for evaluating the relative safety impact of driver distraction during secondary tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Any driver behavior that draws the driver’s attention away from the roadway may increase the chance of a crash. This study developed a procedure to simulate safety impacts associated with driver distraction due to various secondary tasks. The simulation models a rear end hazard scenario where a lead vehicle suddenly decelerates while a driver is engaged in a secondary task. The simulation was tested with a sample set of data collected from drivers in test track and on-the-road trials. The outcomes of the simulation can be used to rank secondary tasks on a relative basis using measures that are uniform and safety-relevant.

Driver performance effects of simultaneous visual and cognitive distraction and adaptation behavior
Driver distraction has become a major concern for transportation safety due to increasing use of infotainment systems in vehicles. To reduce safety risks, it is crucial to understand how fundamental aspects of distracting activities affect driver behavior at different levels of vehicle control. This study used a simulator-based experiment to assess the effects of visual, cognitive and simultane...

This paper introduces CARS, an open source driving simulator tool for evaluating driver distraction. We present the map editor, the driving simulation tool and the analysis tool included in CARS. Based on initial results from initial user studies we illustrate the effectiveness of CARS in evaluating different secondary tasks (e.g., compare different UIs for navigation systems) with regard to dr...

Driver distraction from in-vehicle tasks can have negative impacts on longitudinal and lateral vehicle control and brake reaction time. The distraction problem is wellestablished in the literature, and is increasing due to advances in the functionality, availability, and number of in-vehicle systems. One approach to a solution is managing in-vehicle task presentation to reduce associated distra...
