Abstract:This report updates what is known about behavioral aspects of driver distraction due to portable electronic device (PED) use since publication of a 2008 NHTSA state-of-knowledge (SOK) report. This update is a reference for highway safety stakeholders by benchmarking the state of driver PED-use problems from 2008 through September 2022 as defined by four primary focus areas, with each focus area covered in a separate chapter. Two introductory chapters cover the background and purpose of the SOK, key terminology, and research methodologies illuminating each defined problem area. Chapter 3 focuses on driver PED use, estimates of distracted driving prevalence, related characteristics, and driver motivations for driving distracted. Chapter 4 centers on effects of distraction on driver behavior and performance, focusing on driver attention and aspects of performance such as lane position, headway, speed, and reaction time. Chapter 5 involves distracted driving’s effects on safety, describing crash prevalence, characteristics, and risk. Chapter 6 describes behavioral countermeasures for reducing driver distraction.
