| Popis: | Overall, the rate of vehicle-bicycle collisions is continually increasing. In the United States alone, bicyclist fatalities contributed to 2.3 percent of all crash related fatalities in 2015. In most of these cases, crashes occur due to distracted drivers who are unable to correctly anticipate the bicyclists at the hazardous locations on the roadways such as, intersections and curves. The objective of the current study is to contribute to the divisive literature surrounding cell phone use while driving by specifically measuring, the effects of a secondary mock cell phone task on hazard anticipation performance across common vehicle-bicycle conflict situations. Two groups of 20 drivers each, navigated seven unique scenarios on a driving simulator while being monitored by an eye tracker. One group of participants performed a hands free mock cellphone task while driving, while the second group drove without any additional tasks outside of the primary task of driving. Analysis of the proportion of anticipatory glances using a logistic regression model revealed a significant main effect of the mock cellphone task at reducing the proportion of such glances made by the drivers towards potential bicyclist threats on the roadway. |
