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.

Calling while driving: effects of providing remote traffic context
CHI '05: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsCell phone conversations distract drivers. This research explores the possibility of reducing distracting by providing callers with remote information about the driver's traffic. We asked whether providing such contextual information would change the ...
New Evidence of Impacts of Cell Phone Use on Driving Performance: A Review
Mobile phone use when driving is widely considered to be a major cause of car accidents. This paper attempts to review the existing literature by focusing on three key issues: a Whether and how seriously does mobile phone use impair driving? b How and ...
Using an OpenDS Driving Simulator for Car Following: A First Attempt
AutomotiveUI '14: Adjunct Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular ApplicationsThis paper describes the modifications to free, open-source driving simulator software to simulate a car-following task resembling that in the NHTSA driver distraction protocol. In brief, the peak-to-peak amplitudes of the lead vehicle were sharply ...
