 · Driving performance, particularly reaction time (response to the events happening in driving environment), is adversely affected by mobile phone usage during driving and results in increased risk of accident involvement. Redelmeier and Tibshirani () showed that if a driver is talking on a phone during driving then accident occurring probability Cited by:  · When the distraction demand caused by mobile phone use is high, a part of attention is required to be allocated to deal with the distracted operation, thus causing interference to the driver’s control behavior and environmental monitoring ability.  · Distraction caused by the use of mobile phone while driving increases the reaction time of drivers increasing the likelihood of accident. This study compares the reaction time of distracted drivers and reaction time of undistracted drivers. Distracted driving involves the driver taking way his/her eyes off the road.

For example, as highlighted in Fig. 3(A), one’s accident involvement probability is % at 20 m/s speed in non-distracted driving while this probability increases to % (approximately 3 times) if the driver does not compensate for the increased workload by reducing their speed during conversation. But, if the driver tries to compensate for the supplementary pressure of phone use by reducing the speed, then 45% speed reduction is required for maintaining the similar level of accident. Several studies investigated the distraction factors related to the use of mobile while driving and the effects on road safety. The main findings of these studies generally demonstrated an increasing of reaction time and decreasing of driving performance especially during not critical driving conditions, while the evaluation of the effects of mobile use during critical driving conditions is not so much investigates. Effects of mobile phone distraction on drivers' reaction times. Distraction resulting from mobile phone use whilst driving has been shown to increase the reaction times of drivers, thereby increasing the likelihood of a crash. This study compares the effects of mobile phone conversations on reaction times of drivers responding to traffic events that occur at different points in a driverrsquo;s field of view.

A host of emerging, even more engaging and time-consuming in-car technologies, In one study, when drivers talked on a cell phone, their reactions to. Phone use during driving causes decrease in situation awareness and delays response to the events happening in driving environment which may lead to. As part of the study, Dr Haque measured the effects of mobile phone distraction on safety including reaction time and driving performance in.
