Abstract:

The research objective of this project was to explore how the use of mobile devices affects driver safety. With almost all American adults owning a cell phone and other mobile devices currently, cell phone use while driving is thought to be extremely common. There have been significant concerns raised about distracted driving; however, relatively little consensus has been reached on the impact of distracted driving on safety. The results of this research are the first direct evidence linking call patterns and accidents in a non-experimental setting. As expected, the observational data strongly confirm the link between traffic injuries and death and mobile phone use.
