Watch the Distracted Driving Summit live webcast Sept. 30 (7:30am-4pm)-Oct. 1 (6:30am-12:15pm). The archived summit will be available for a year. The agenda is online as well.
If you are interested in researching driver distraction, Andersen Library has materials. A search of HALCAT (Andersen Library’s catalog) will find titles such as Driver distraction: theory, effects, and mitigation (3rd-floor Main Collection, HE5620.D59 D75 2009) and Driver distraction, a review of the current state-of-knowledge (an online document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Searching the Library’s article databases would find articles such as “Engrossed in conversation: The impact of cell phones on simulated driving performance” (in Accident Analysis & Prevention, Mar. 2006, v.38, no.2, pp.415-421).
Please ask a librarian for assistance with finding materials.
