Box Task + Detection Response Task

Description

The use of methods for measuring driver distraction caused by smartphones or in-vehicle information systems is important for the development of new in-vehicle systems. An easy-to-implement and low-cost method is the Box Task combined with a Detection Response Task (BT+DRT). The BT+DRT can be easily implemented in a laboratory setting and is able to cover visual-manual as well as cognitive distraction effects.
