Abstract
Driver distraction represents a significant problem in a motor vehicle is a complex activity. This study exist for evaluated part of the Multifactorial Model of distraction, Driving Safety to elucidate the relative importance of cognitive function and measures of visual function in the capacity to Drive Safely. This article investigates the nature of driver distraction at a major Algerian a motor vehicle. At present, increasing amounts of visual information from sources such as roadside advertising create visual clutter in the road environment, including the sources of distraction present, and their effects on driver performance, cognitive and visual function (CV) capacity supports goal-directedness which minimizes the influence of distracting stimuli in favor of driving-relevant stimuli. Cognitive and visual function (CV) capacity can be discriminated and are both addressed during driving. This study investigated for driving experience (n= 300, age= 18-25), These included an adaptation of the well validated Useful Field of View (UFOV) and two newer measures, namely a Hazard Perception Test (HPT), and a Hazard Change Detection Task (HCDT).
Highlights
The concept of driver distraction has been the focus of intense research attention
This study lacked an on-road driving test or driving simulator to validate the screening measures, and the Hazard Change Detection Task (HCDT) has not been validated against an on-road test
There are many types of errors that driving experience make while driving and it is unclear at this stage whether the Useful Field of View (UFOV), Hazard Perception Test (HPT), and HDCT are indicative of similar or different types of on-road driving errors
Summary
The concept of driver distraction has been the focus of intense research attention. Driver distraction is widely recognized as a significant road safety issue “[1], [2]”. The findings from the ‘100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study’ identified distraction as a contributory factor in around 23 percent of crashes and near crashes [5]. These degradations have been shown to translate into an increased risk of crash involvement, with estimates indicating that secondary task distraction is a contributing factor in up to 23% of crashes and near-crashes [5]. Visual function and cognition are two key components of the Multifactorial Model of Driving Safety [14]. In this model they are intercorrelated, and both predict the Capacity to Drive Safely
