Cars and Distraction - Evidence the German Young Drivers. How to Address to Limits of DMS and Improve Safety Gains – Tim Jannusch

Abstract: The introduction of highly automated vehicles into our society will cause a concurrent increase in the emergence of distracting activities while driving. This is especially the case for young people who, more than other age groups, employ their cars as a place of personal fulfilment. This research presentation proposes an interdisciplinary safe-by-design (SbD) heuristic to address this emerging risk. It harnesses the German version of the Behaviour of Young Novice Driver Scale (BYNDS) to gather representative information about young people’s distracting activities. This information is then used to address to limits of Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) and posit safety measures in the context of young driver distraction.
