The Effects of Using Electronic Maps While Driving on The Driver Performance

Abstract

The development of information technology has provided electronic maps (e-maps) via mobile phones that help drivers find the travel destinations, but using mobile phone also can disturb the driver's concentration. The aims of the research is to analyze the effects of using e-maps while driving on driver performance. The respondents were private car drivers, and as many as 325 respondents filled out the questionnaire. The drivers answered the questions about their experience using e-map while driving and particular behavior. As many as 45.54% of drivers involved in undesired circumstances such as changing lanes or slowing down suddenly and 20.00% involved in a near-miss accident. Meanwhile 39.94% of drivers stated to never be involved in any adverse event. The group of drivers who have aberrant behavior was involved in adverse event more often than the group of drivers who obey the rules (t-test, =0.000). Regression analysis is performed to analyze the correlation between four types of aberrant behavior and the driver violations, there were moderate correlations between the research variables. The use of e-maps do not increase traffic violations when applied by obedient traffic rule drivers, but it does increase when applied aberrant behavior drivers.

When Corporate Social Responsibility Pays Off: The Power of Effective Communication for Customer Satisfaction

“…In 1953, American economist Howard R. Bowen introduced the theory of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Yiming, 2013). This theory states that businesses are obliged to advance policies and make decisions that are good for society (Lady and Umyati, 2023). By adopting CSR in their business, corporations stand to benefit in many ways.…”

Monitoring Physiological State of Drivers Using In-Vehicle Sensing of Non-Invasive Signal

“…Despite the various efforts made by the authorities to improve traffic and road safety, traffic accidents have increased in recent years. According to a study conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), one of the main causes of road accidents is human behavior, namely hypovigilance among drivers, a condition when individuals experience decreased sensory sensitivity and responsiveness due to factors such as drowsiness, fatigue, the influence of alcohol or drugs, stress, excessive cognitive demands, or distraction from the use of smartphones or GPS devices while driving [1][2][3][4]. In addition, the driver's health condition can also trigger a state of hypo-alertness.…”
