 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the project is to prevent young drivers from texting while driving. An improved technological intervention and a new distribution model for that intervention are proposed. In 2009, more than 5,400 people died in crashes that were reported to involve a distracted driver and about 448,000 people were injured. Among those killed or injured in these crashes, nearly 1,000 deaths and 24,000 injuries included cellphone use as the major distraction. The CDC reports in a 2012 national survey that 52% of U.S. drivers ages 18-29 reported texting or e-mailing while driving at least once in the last 30 days, and more than a quarter report texting or e-mailing "regularly" or "fairly often" while driving. Th proportion of drivers reportedly distracted at the time of a fatal crash has increased from 7 percent in 2005 to 11 percent in 2009. Many states are enacting laws to curb texting and cellphone use while driving; however the continued prevalence of this activity even where it is illegal illustrates the need for a technological solution. Technological solutions, in the form of hardware or software that block texting (interlocks) exist, but are not widely utilized. Hardware technologies require vehicle modifications, which limits their appeal. Almost all software technologies rely on GPS to provide vehicle velocity information as an interlock criterion. Texting is disabled when the phone is moving at more than 10 MPH for example. Unfortunately, this sensing modality cannot distinguish whether or not the smartphone is being used by a driver or passenger and therefore disables texting for all passengers in any vehicle under travel including public buses, school buses, trains, passengers in a car, etc. We propose a better software solution that can distinguish drivers from non-drivers and a new technology distribution strategy that will more effectively engage parents to use the solution.

 描述（由适用提供）：该项目的目的是防止年轻的驾驶时的年轻驾驶员发短信。提出了改进的技术干预和该干预措施的新分配模型。 2009年，据报道涉及分散注意力的驾驶员，大约448,000人受伤的坠机事故中有5400多人死亡。在这些撞车事故中丧生或受伤的人中，将近1,000人死亡和24,000人受伤，包括手机用作主要干扰。疾病预防控制中心在2012年的一项全国调查中报道说，在过去30天内至少开车一次，有52％的18-29岁的美国驾驶员报告发短信或发送电子邮件，并在驾驶时发短信或“经常或“相当经常”发电子邮件发短信或发送电子邮件。据报道，在致命崩溃时分心的驾驶员的比例从2005年的7％增加到2009年的11％。许多州正在制定法律以遏制发短信和驾驶时使用手机的法律；但是，即使是非法的，这项活动的持续流行也表明了对技术解决方案的需求。以阻塞发短信（Interlovs）的硬件或软件的形式的技术解决方案存在，但并未被广泛使用。硬件技术需要修改车辆，这限制了它们的外观。几乎所有软件技术都依靠GP来提供车辆速度信息作为互锁标准。例如，当手机以超过10 mph的速度移动时，发短信将被禁用。不幸的是，这种敏感性模式无法区分驾驶员或乘客是否正在使用智能手机，因此可以在任何旅行中的车辆中为所有密码提供短信，包括公共巴士，校车，火车，汽车中的密码等。我们提出了一种更好的软件解决方案，可以将驾驶员与非驾驶员和新技术分配策略区分开来，以使父母更有效地互动。
