Distracted driving is a major public safety concern, contributing an average of 21,000 crashes annually in Massachusetts alone. This thesis aims to provide an improved understanding of drivers' cell phone use prevalence and the related safety impacts. Specifically, this thesis includes: 1) an analysis of data collected in two direct observational studies carried out in 2011 and 2012; 2) an evaluation of the collection methods employed for direct observation studies; and 3) an analysis of distracted driving crashes from 2007 to 2011 in Massachusetts. The two observational studies resulted in a sample of 61,096 drivers from 305 different locations, resulting in an average cell phone usage rate to be 6.4 percent, with a handheld usage rate of 5.3 percent and a text messaging usage rate of 1.1 percent. Teens were observed text messaging more often than adults and elders, while the handheld conversation rate was similar for both teens and adults. Drivers observed wearing seat belts had a lower cell phone use than those who were not wearing seat belts. A second study was conducted to investigate limitations of the direct observation of drivers' cell phone use, specifically involving the influence of intersections and observers. Twelve observations were conducted using a combination of observers and video data collection. The study found that at signalized intersections the drivers' text messaging rate was higher, and it is suggested that for future observations another category for cell phone use is used to separate text messaging while stopped. Lastly, the crash data analysis was completed, and within the five years analyzed there were a total 628,495 crashes and 17 percent of overall crashes that involved distracted driving. The rate of distracted driving is inversely proportional to speed, weather severity, and road conditions, as when the preserved danger increases the rate of distracted driving crashes decreases. There was a relationship between the observed cell phone use and the rate of distracted driving crashes with females and teens having both the highest cell phone use rate and the highest rate of distracted driving crashes. The completion of research tasks within the framework of this thesis achieved the overall objective of providing insight on drivers' cell phone use and crash data statistics across driver demographics, road types, and times of day. Moving forward the insights established within this thesis may prove useful in the establishment of targeted and specific countermeasures.

This research effort investigates the use of cell phone while driving and the associated crash risk for the college age drivers. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to University of Memphis students to ascertain information in three key areas: (1) Driving hours, (2) Types of cell phone usage - talking, texting, and other wireless functions, and (3) Safety issues - incidences of crash pr 'close call'* using cell phones. The questionnaire was available online on the University of Memphis webpage (http://cifts.memphis.edu/cellphone.html) from February 12, 2009 until April 10, 2009, resulting in responses from 2442 students. Data was analyzed using: (1) Descriptive Statistics, (2) Frequency Figures, and (3) Mann-Whitney U Test. Results indicate that texting, emailing, and taking pictures while driving are related to higher incidences of close call occurrence, and thus cell phone usage is affecting students' driving safety.*Close call: Defined as an incident where driver engages in high risk traffic movement but avoids collision, i.e. drifting into adjacent lane, having to "slam on brakes," etc.

Certain activities and events both inside and outside a vehicle can distract drivers and lead to degraded performance. New technologies- such as entertainment, communication, and driver assistance systems- play a significant role in distraction. This unique volume defines driver distraction, discusses various causes, and explains how to measure acceptable and unacceptable levels of distraction. Several chapters address measurement techniques based on performance and epidemiological studies. Most importantly, the text explores ways to mitigate driver distraction as well as countermeasures including vehicle design and effective legislation.

Has the rapid increase in mobile phone usage contributed to traffic fatalities in the United States? Does legislation requiring drivers to use hands-free technology while talking have any effect on traffic fatalities? Using state-level panel data on mobile phone ownership, hands-free laws, and traffic fatalities, this paper finds that mobile phone ownership is associated with higher traffic fatalities, but only in bad weather or wet road conditions. The limited experience of a few states suggests that hands-free laws reduce traffic fatalities, but again only in bad weather or wet road conditions, and possibly also in rush-hour traffic. The findings suggest that the benefits of hands-free laws depend on driving conditions, and an important policy implication is hands-free laws should be more strongly enforced when driving conditions are more difficult. These findings on hands-free laws differ from other research, which consistently finds that hands-free and handheld phone usage have similar effects on driver distraction and accident risk, calling into question the usefulness of hands-free laws. Previous research has relied on retrospective surveys, laboratory simulations, and non-representative driving histories, whereas this research examines the effects of actual policy changes on outcomes. One reason for these different results may be that drivers respond to hands-free laws in ways that cannot be observed in laboratory conditions or extrapolated from voluntary decisions to use hands-free technology.
