Recommendation to CTIA
16
• Encourage development of
technology to disable PEDs use by
drivers, when vehicle is in motion.
• Should allow for emergency use and
should identify seating positions so
as not to interfere with passenger
use.

What We Have Learned
• Distraction risks are universal
• Portable electronic devices pose cognitive, manual, auditory, and visual distractions

wearing Google Glass:
Could the futuristic
device join handheld
cell phones, texting as
illegal?”
• Another headline in The
Verge read “California

Driving and Texting
A brief description of Virginia’s new distracted driving law.

Virginia
The Path to Making Texting While Driving a Primary Offense
Mid-2000s – Virginia Had Little Focus On or Regulation Of Distracted Driving
![Page 27: Southern Legislative Conference: Transportation?knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/system/files/...Webinar.pdf · • Most comprehensive study undertaken on cognitive distraction • Systematic](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050505/5f972e7e3a5efa4882756431/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Resistance to Legislation and Regulation
Rationales:
Personal Freedom
Why Punish Individuals When There Was No Accident
Concern About Empowering Police to Stop Drivers
![Page 28: Southern Legislative Conference: Transportation?knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/system/files/...Webinar.pdf · • Most comprehensive study undertaken on cognitive distraction • Systematic](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050505/5f972e7e3a5efa4882756431/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Small Steps to Prohibit Distracted Driving
Prohibit cell phone use and restrict passengers and hours
of driving for 16 and 17 year olds
Prohibit texting while driving
![Page 29: Southern Legislative Conference: Transportation?knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/system/files/...Webinar.pdf · • Most comprehensive study undertaken on cognitive distraction • Systematic](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050505/5f972e7e3a5efa4882756431/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
New Laws Above Adopted as Secondary Offenses
No one can be stopped because of violating one of the new laws
![Page 30: Southern Legislative Conference: Transportation?knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/system/files/...Webinar.pdf · • Most comprehensive study undertaken on cognitive distraction • Systematic](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050505/5f972e7e3a5efa4882756431/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Attempts to Improve Traffic Safety and Reduce Deaths Failed
Prohibit Hand Held Cell Phones
Require Seat Belt Use by Back Seat Passengers
Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalks
Prohibit Open Containers of Alcohol
Administrative Suspensions of License Following DUI Arrest
Making Secondary Offense Primary Violations, eg. Drivers using Seat Belts

Multi-tasking and Driving
“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a
pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the
attention it deserves.”
-- Albert Einstein
FACT: Most simply cannot successfully perform
two or more tasks simultaneously without declines
in performance

Workload, Distraction, & Impairment
Cognitive Workload
• Attention required to perform a non-driving task
Cognitive Distraction
• Diversion of attention from driving in dual-task conditions
Impaired Driving
• Impairments to driving from dual-task performance

• Driving simulator
• Instrumented vehicle
• Develop taxonomy of cognitive distraction
• (e.g., Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale Wind Scale)
• Category 1 -- Undistracted driver
• Category 5 -- Highest level of cognitive distraction

The Future of In-vehicle Technology
• Examination of speech-based in-vehicle interactions
• What speech-based activities are safe/unsafe?
• Siri, Entune, Sync, Onstar…
• Internet search to support navigation
• Dinner reservations (e.g., OpenTable)
• Facebook/twitter updates
• Quality of
