Early Human Factors Driver Attention Research

From the Human Factors archives comes a very interesting video of early research conducted on Route 128. With all of my trips between Bentley College and Cape Cod over the past couple years, I used this stretch of road quite a bit. Fortunately, I didn’t have a helmet obstructing my view every couple seconds.

This early study helped pave the way for more recent research, including iPod distraction while driving conducted at Drexel (CHI’07). Fortunately for everyone, we now have car simulators and don’t have to take our research on the road.
