The Role of Driver Distraction in Traffic Crashes: (363942004-001)
Abstract
Distraction is one form of inattention and it is a factor in over half of the crashes that involve some form of driver inattention. (The National Highway Traffic Safety administration estimates that at least 25% of police-reported crashes involve some form of driver inattention). The goal of this research is to identify the major sources of distraction to drivers and the relative importance of the distractions as potential causes of crashes. This report discusses the results of Phase I of the project. For this analyses, two variables were defined -- one identifying the attention status of the driver (attentive, distracted, looked but did not see, sleepy/asleep, or unknown). The second variable identified the specific distracting event for those drivers identified as distracted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
