Book Distracted Driving

Download or read book Distracted Driving written by Yan Qi (Engineering teacher) and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased use of electronic devices, distracted driving is assumed to be one of the main causes of crashes. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has demonstrated interest in addressing distracted driving. However, the real impact of distracted driving on traffic crashes in Illinois is still unclear because of what appears to be a lack of accurate reporting. The objective of this project is to conduct a literature review, prepare a summary of findings for evaluating the relationship between distracted driver behavior and other factors, and identify best practices to mitigate distracted driving. The research team reviewed articles, reports, websites, advertisements, laws, and media reports in related disciplines, including engineering, safety, health care, psychology, law, etc. They compiled information on the characteristics of distracted driving, factors influencing distracted driving, and its association with crashes/crash risk. They also compiled information on laws restricting cell phone use as well as their enforcement and effectiveness, technologies and resources targeting distracted driving, and campaigns and education programs. This study found that electronic device use is not the only highly frequent distracted driving behavior. Attitude is also an underlying cause of distracted driving. Conclusions of past studies on the impacts of distracted driving on crashes/crash risk are not sound and concrete because of the limitations of their research approaches. Although there are no federal regulations to date, all states in the United States (except Montana) have passed laws to restrict cell phone use to some extent or to certain groups of drivers. High-visibility enforcement may be the best deterrent for distracted driving enforcement but may require additional labor and other resources to achieve the best results. Despite the prevalence of cell phone bans and increased efforts in enforcement, the effectiveness of cell phone bans is arguable. The key to addressing distracted driving is to change driver behavior. Successful traffic safety campaigns to change driver behavior have demonstrated the necessity to adopt a “three Es” approach: enactment of a law, rigorous enforcement of the law, and education of the public about the law. To change distracted driving behavior, the appropriate approach should be “three Es” and technology adoption. Based on the findings of the literature review, recommendations were made on steps to address distracted driving.

Book Distracted Driving

Download or read book Distracted Driving written by Elisabeta Mitran and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical assistance report conducted an extensive literature review to obtain the state of knowledge on existing research on distracted driving in the US. The objective of this report was to review relevant studies on distracted driving including measurements, strategies, legislation, employer policies, and technologies used nationally to prevent distracted driving, to acquire the information needed to address distracted driving in Louisiana. Distracted driving has been measured in several type of studies, including crash data, observational, attitudinal, enforcement, naturalistic driving, and driving simulators. The number of states that included distracted driving as an emphasis area in their SHSPs has increased over the last few years. The strategies used to address distracting driving are typically focused on improving data collection, education, enforcement and adjudication, engineering, and legislation. Nationally, there are hand-held cell phone bans, text messaging bans, and all cell phone bans. Currently, 16 states and 4 territories have hand-held cell phones bans for all drivers as a primary enforcement law while 47 states and 4 territories ban text messaging for all drivers. The effectiveness of hand-held cell phone bans on hand-held phone use appeared to maintain long term reductions but on crashes showed mixed results. Employers have begun implementing their own policies regarding hand-held cell phone use while driving. National Road Safety Partnership Program of Australia and the National Safety Council released kits that can be used as groundwork by employers to develop their distracted driving policy. Distracted driving technologies range from being completely free to upwards of $150, depending on if they are app-only or what type of hardware is required. Overall, there are varying degrees of distracted driving prevention for drivers, ranging from simply rendering the phone useless while in motion to actually changing the capabilities of the vehicle. However, there is no research data to support the effectiveness of these technologies. Nationally, the state of the practice to address distracted driving and improve roadway safety focused on improving data collection, legislation, enforcement, improving infrastructure, and communication and outreach.
