In-car cell phone use: mitigating risk by signaling remote callers

Published:20 April 2002Publication History

ABSTRACT

Research has linked in-car cell phone use with automobile accidents. We explore a signaling method that could mitigate that risk. We show in a first experiment how remote cell phone callers were induced to speak less during critical driving periods, and, in a second experiment, how driving performance in a simulator improved when callers reduced conversation levels during critical driving periods.
