“…Distracted drivers exhibited significantly more driving errors, such as speeding and collision than those in the phone absent condition, irrespective of proximity to the phone and whether it was on or off [53]. The use of a cell phone while driving is one of the most distracting elements that can impair driving performance and raise the likelihood of a severe car crash [54][55][56]. In addition to talking, messaging, and searching for information, mobile phone use nowadays encompasses a wide range of activities, such as emailing, gaming, surfing social media, and listening to music.…”

The number of traffic accidents because of distracted driving is increasing rapidly worldwide. Hence, the main objective of the present study is to review the effects of different distracting factors on driving performance indicators. Distracting factors considered in this study are roadside advertisements (billboards), mobile use, in-built vehicle systems, and sleepiness; and driving performance indicators are lane deviation, reaction time, and speed variation. Studies from existing literature reveal that all the distracting factors distract drivers from forwarding roadways in many ways. The location and content displayed on the billboard and the use of mobile phones increase reaction time. However, the former decreases the driver’s ability to control the vehicle, and the latter increases the speed variation and reduces lane-keeping capacity. Lateral vehicle control and reaction time are compromised when drivers engage in searching for songs or videos on music players. When sleepiness occurs, drivers exhibit a higher standard deviation of speed and a decreased headway distance. Nevertheless, most of the studies in this area are carried out in developed countries like the USA and European countries. Therefore, a detailed study and further research in developing countries like India, where activities like installing billboards and mobile phone use are increasing day by day due to the rapid urbanization of major cities in the country, are quite essential.

“…According to the previous researches [12,41,42], young drivers tend to use cell phones while driving more than elders; and among women this tendency is nearly twice than men [12]. Research shows that cell phone usage while driving is increasing annually [43,44], To increase understanding in this area, there is a requirement to find the agents influencing this behavior.…”

“…Analyses were performed in young and old people to ascertain differences in cell phone addiction. Earlier studies suggested that older individuals are less demanding than younger individuals to use cell phone [12,32,42,52]. According to Walsh et al [49] age believed to be a statistically important predictor of the addiction to use cell phone while driving.…”

“…Unless these factors could also be useful in several areas, the potential for drivers, when driving, to answer the call from others instead of focusing on the driving task. Cell phone usage while driving has been related to risks of accidents, since using cell phone reduces drivers' attention to road conditions and driving duties [9][10][11][12][13]. Use of cell phone while driving may cause driving distraction that can be split into 2 categories: physical distraction (e.g.…”

Background:The use of a cell phone when driving has been recognized as a type of distraction worldwide. Addictive tendency to use technology, including cell phone use while driving may be a substantial problem for drivers and increasing risk of accidents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of drivers' addiction to use a cell phone while driving. Materials and Methods:A sample of 400 drivers with ages 18-65 years old completed a questionnaire which was designed based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to predict drivers' addiction to use a cell phone while driving on demographic characteristics and TPB components.Results: Drivers had mean age of 35.63(8.72) and were 77% male, and 23% female. Tests of validity and reliability were conducted for every variable. According to findings, the hierarchical regression analysis model showed that the TPB was able to predict 59% variance in addiction toward cell phone use and attitude emerging as the strongest predictor during this analysis. All components of TPB were more independent to age than gender. Conclusion:The fundamental TPB components were directly associated with the addiction to use a cell phone when driving. The present study has identified that older drivers were considerably less probable to use a cell phone while driving. Also this study showed that males use a cell phone significantly more frequent. More practical road safety measures are required to rebuff and mitigate the effects of using cell phones while driving.

Sustainable Development of Electrical and Electronic Equipment: User‐driven Green Design for Cell Phones

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Communication and cooperation with consumers are key to sustainable development. This article considers the environmental and user benefits of producing a sustainable product design that enable users' involvement and encourages the use of sustainable products to enhance environmental value. Depending on users' sensitivity to ecodesign for energy‐related products, six environment evaluation criteria may structure their perceptions of cell phone attributes (monitor, panel, battery, shell, modeling, lens and fingerprint). Innovative methods are needed for effective communication, as well as to encourage consumer participation in designing sustainable products that satisfy their needs. The design of product attributes appears able to enhance the sustainable development of products, through users' awareness of various environmental characteristics. This study thus proposes a unique method to understand product design structures and make cell phone design decisions that feature individualized designs.
