Cell Phone Distraction Analysis Of Motor Response In A Simulated Driving Environment
Does the use of a cell phone while driving influence the driver's ability to execute a proper turn? Is there difference between genders pertaining to motor skill while driving in a simulated driving environment? To accomplish this task, three groups of ten participants (5 women and 5 men) each were …

Attentional Control in Young Drivers: Does Training Help or Hinder Bottom-Up Processing in a Dynamic Driving Environment?
… hazards on the road is a critical skill for safe driving, one that many young and novice drivers lack. Training programs are shown to improve hazard anticipation performance in young drivers, but whether these training effects persist in the presence of salient and potentially distracting stimuli …

A Learning Control, Intervention Strategy for Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics Systems
… assumed that the future vehicle states and local driving environment is known. An Intervention Strategy must be developed such that the vehicle is navigated successfully along a road via modest changes to the driver's commands and do so in a manner that is in harmony with the driver's intentions …

Examining the Effect of Driving Experience on Teenage Driving Ability with Secondary Tasks
… examined the relationship between experience and driving performance with secondary tasks. Data were collected from 42 teenage drivers and their parents using an instrumented vehicle for two one hour test track sessions spaced 12 months apart. For part of the sessions, participants followed a lead …
