The Problem

• Divided attention between mobile communication
  and driving.
• More Multitasking
• Less Focus
• Less Attention
• Failures in attention are a frequently cited
  reason for car accidents (Benyon and Turner,
  2005)

3
Video Presentation

• Sit back and enjoy our Audio/Video Presentation.

4
The Hypothesis

• Drivers utilizing conventional mobile phones are
  more distracted from focusing on road safety than
  if they were to use a hands-free voice controlled
  communication device.

5
Our Research Methods

• We used experimental simulation as our method of
  research.
• Simulating road test.
• Time Trial
• Course Deviance
• Reaction Tests

6
Our Research Methods

• Independent variables
• Placement
• Input Method

7
Our Research Methods

• Dependant Variables
• Time Trial
• Course Deviance

8
Our Research Methods

• Confounding Variables
• Fatigue
• Driving Experience
• Weather Conditions

9
The Design Solution

• To reduce distractions caused by the interface of
  a mobile phone.
• Voice recognition.
• No visual attention needed.
• Creates a hands-free, programmable interface.

10
Conclusion

• We have concluded that it will make the roads a
  safer place if our hands-free, voice-controlled
  communication device is integrated into new and
  existing vehicles replacing the distraction of
  current cellular phones.
