Abstract:Factors aff ecting the cognitive tasks associated with driving are becoming increasingly critical to the overall roadway safety performance. Therefore, more research is needed in order to understand the complexity and impact of distraction on driving behavior. Such distractions are likely to aff ect the driving performance and, consequently, elevate the crash risk. As such, there is a dire need to understand the prevalence of driver distractions in conjunction with crashes and near-crashes, including hands-free talking, texting, eating, reading, etc.
