DEGRADATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ROAD VEHICLE DRIVERS DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF CABIN DISTRACTIONS

Sandro TOKIĆ, Davor SUMPOR, Mirta ZELENIKA ZEBA

Abstract


Performing multiple tasks simultaneously can have negative impact on driver performance, including on the occurrence of traffic accidents (TA). Possible negative influence of the cabin distraction factor on the performance of road vehicle drivers will be investigated. The most dangerous is the writing text messages on a mobile phone while driving. Also, effect of using a cell phone while driving on a driver’s performance is the same regardless of whether the driver holds a cell phone with his hand during a conversation or not. Raising awareness of the negative consequences of distraction and, the development of advanced vehicle system is needed to reduce the growing proportion of such accidents.
