Abstract

Driver distraction can be described as the diversion of driver's attention from the primary task of driving and is one of the most common causes of crashes. Complex technologies that have either been introduced to the driving domain or are planned to be, raise the concern of high levels of distraction, by placing additional demands on drivers. Different mitigation strategies (e.g., warning and vehicle control) have been implemented in the vehicle to reduce driver distraction. However there has not been a clear definition or categorization of these strategies. This paper, therefore, proposes a taxonomy of mitigation strategies for driver distraction and relates the strategies to accumulated research in the areas of automation and adaptive aiding to define important design tradeoffs with each strategy. This taxonomy provides a framework that can guide research and address the driver distraction problem systematically.
