Understanding the role of self-regulation in moderating distracted driving

该项目的目标是将自然驾驶和模拟方法结合起来，探索驾驶员发起的适应行为(自我调节)在减轻分心对驾驶性能和安全的影响方面所起的作用。司机分心是对全球道路安全的日益严重的威胁，约四分之一的车祸是由司机分心造成的。分心是一种复杂的、多方面的现象，尽管它对安全有影响，但我们对它的理解还远远不完整。该项目旨在开发和评估一套新的对策，旨在加强司机在分心时的自我调节行为。该项目的成果可能会减少分心对澳大利亚道路创伤的影响。

The goal of this project is to combine naturalistic driving and simulation methods to explore the role that driver-initiated adaptive behaviour (self-regulation) can play in mitigating the effects of distraction on driving performance and safety. Driver distraction is a growing threat to road safety worldwide, contributing to approximately one-quarter of all crashes. Distraction is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon and, despite its impact on safety, our understanding of it is far from complete. The project aims to develop and assess a set of new countermeasures designed to enhance drivers’ self-regulatory behaviour when distracted. The outcomes of the project may reduce the impact of distraction on road trauma in Australia.
