TLDR
It was found that mobile-phone related injuries among pedestrians increased relative to total pedestrian injuries, and paralleled the increase in injuries for drivers, and in 2010 exceeded those for drivers.About:

The Mere Presence of a Cell Phone May be Distracting
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the mere presence of a cell phone may be enough to produce diminished attention and deficits in task-performance, especially for tasks with greater attentional and cognitive demands.

Analyzing pedestrian crash injury severity at signalized and non-signalized locations.
TL;DR: This study identifies and compares the significant factors affecting pedestrian crash injury severity at signalized and unsignalized intersections and recommends several countermeasures to reduce pedestrian injury severity.

TL;DR: Focusing on the key geographic themes of places and movement, this paper finds that the design of Pokémon GO reinforces existing geographically-linked biases, and that the game may have instigated a relatively rare large-scale shift in global human mobility patterns.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy in movement science: a systematic review on cortical activity in postural and walking tasks
TL;DR: A systematic review of functional near-infrared spectroscopy studies dealing with walking or postural tasks to summarize the current knowledge about application and data processing in fNIRS studies and outline the recommendations with respect to the design and data processed studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Texting and walking: Effect of environmental setting and task prioritization on dual-task interference in healthy young adults
TL;DR: The finding that young adults do not significantly modify their texting and walking behavior in high-distraction environments lends weight to growing concerns about cell phone use and pedestrian safety.

Gender differences in risk taking: A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of 150 studies in which the risk-taking tendencies of male and female participants were compared and found that the average effects for 14 out of 16 types of risk taking were significantly larger than 0 (indicating greater risk taking in male participants).
The Impact of Driver Inattention on Near-Crash/Crash Risk: An Analysis Using the 100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a study on the safety of self-driving cars with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Office of Human-Vehicle Performance Research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driven to Distraction: Dual-Task Studies of Simulated Driving and Conversing on a Cellular Telephone
TL;DR: It is suggested that cellular-phone use disrupts performance by diverting attention to an engaging cognitive context other than the one immediately associated with driving.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of the effects of cell phones on driver performance
TL;DR: A comprehensive meta-analysis of the effects of cell phones on driving performance was performed, finding that observed performance decrements probably underestimate the true behavior of drivers with mobile phones in their own vehicles.

Driver Distraction : Theory, Effects, and Mitigation
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analysis of research on the relationship between Driver Fatigue and Driver Distraction and its impact on driving performance and safety in Japan, which found that driver distraction can be a positive influence on performance.
