Certain activities and events both inside and outside a vehicle can distract drivers and lead to degraded performance. New technologies - such as information and communication devices - can play a significant role in distraction. This unique volume defines driver distraction, discusses various causes, and explains how to measure acceptable and unacceptable levels of distraction. Several chapters address measurement techniques based on performance and epidemiological studies. Most importantly, the text explores ways to mitigate driver distraction through a range of countermeasures including vehicle design, effective legislation and driver education and training.
