Abstract

Although most countries have made cell phone use while driving illegal, the drivers still use it both for calling and texting, increasing worries related to sanitary aspects, among these the effects on driving performance and road safety. There are many studies that have investigated the distraction factors related to phone use while driving. Specifically, experimental studies using driving simulators, closed-track driving courses, and naturalistic driving while using a mobile phone have reported a variety of driving impairments. This article firstly provides a review of the state-of-the-art and then, after a discussion of the great advantages of studying drivers' performance using driving simulation, a full simulator study on the effects of mobile phone while driving is presented. Finally, future research direction is addressed.
