Abstract
The use of a navigation device is essential to the work of Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS) drivers. The Anti-Distracted Driving Act in the Philippines prohibits distracted driving on any public thoroughfare, highway, or street. However, it only considers the driver’s horizontal line of sight and does not specify the ideal location of the navigation device. This study involves ‘Uber’ drivers, which were asked to test three different locations for the navigation device: left side of the steering wheel, speedometer area, and right side of the steering wheel. The driver’s distraction level was measured using a Peripheral Detection Test with four light-switch mechanisms. Based on the results of the randomized complete block design and Fisher’s least significant difference method, the location of navigation device significantly affects the driver’s distraction level with the right side of the steering wheel being the ideal or least distracting location among the three.
