Risk factors of mobile phone use while driving in Queensland: prevalence, attitudes, crash risk perception, and task-management strategies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated characteristics of usage, risk factors, compensatory strategies in use and characteristics of high-frequency offenders of mobile phone use while driving and found that drivers were unable to acknowledge the increased crash risk associated with answering and locating a ringing phone in contrast to other tasks such as texting or browsing.

The impact of walking while using a smartphone on pedestrians’ awareness of roadside events
Ming I.Brandon Lin,Yu Ping Huang +1 more
TL;DR: Investigating the influence of smartphone use on detection of and responses to a variety of roadside events in a semi-virtual walking environment revealed that during dual-task walking, the reading app was associated with a significantly higher level of perceived workload, and impaired awareness of the surrounding environment to a greater extent than the texting or picture-dragging apps.

Accident risk associated with smartphone addiction: A study on university students in Korea.
TL;DR: It is suggested that smartphone addiction was significantly associated with total accident, falling/slipping, and bumps/collisions, and the need for increased awareness of the risk of accidents with smartphone addiction.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceived Behavioral Control, Self-Efficacy, Locus of Control, and the Theory of Planned Behavior
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that perceived behavioral control over performance of a behavior, though comprised of separable components that reflect beliefs about self-efficacy and about controllability, can nevertheless be considered a unitary latent variable in a hierarchical factor model.

Global status report on road safety.
TL;DR: The World Health Organization has just released the Global status report on road safety —the first broad assessment that describes the road safety situation in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardised survey, providing a benchmark that countries can use to assess their road safety position relative to other countries.

Multiple Resources and Mental Workload
TL;DR: The model was shown to be partially relevant to the concept of mental workload, with greatest relevance to performance breakdowns related to dual-task overload, and recommended design changes when conditions of multitask resource overload exist.

Effects of visual and cognitive load in real and simulated motorway driving
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of visual and cognitive load on driving performance and driver state were systematically investigated by means of artificial, or surrogate, In-vehicle Information Systems (S-IVIS).
