Cars, Calls, and Cognition: Studies of Cellphone Use While Driving
With the proliferation of many interactive devices that place demands on the driver's attention while driving, effectively allocating attention with the primary goal of managing driving safety presents substantial challenges. Our research investigates new techniques for proactive mediation of driver attention. We focus on ensuring driving safety by directing drivers' attention towards events or changes in the driving scene if the driver is engaged in peripheral tasks, e.g phone conversations.
