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.
