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

distractions in conjunction with crashes and near-crashes, including hands-free
talking, texting, eating, reading, etc.
