Simulation for Human Factors

Regardless of content, length, or intensity, whenever perception and attention are decoupled, the risk of “looking but not seeing” increases, along with the likelihood of driver error. Ultimately, the outcomes of our multi-measure assessments (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, survey, self-report, and physiological metrics) could lead to countermeasures (e.g., vehicle technologies, improved practices in road geometry, signage, targeted training) that mitigate negative driving outcomes from distracted driving.
