This review summarized a selection of articles that considered design and training interventions that can be employed to reduce the effects of driver distraction. Topics that were examined included:
- the effectiveness of in-vehicle information systems at reducing distraction;
- the effects of computer-based training on the willingness of young drivers to engage in in-vehicle distracting activities.
A key finding from this review was the importance of integrating various automation strategies into the design of in-vehicle information systems to warn drivers about hazards of use while driving, or to suspend access to the system during complex driving conditions.
