Effect of Electronic Device Use on Pedestrian Safety

项目名称：	Effect of Electronic Device Use on Pedestrian Safety
摘要：	While the issue of distracted driving has brought to the forefront, little is known about the role distraction plays in pedestrian-involved motor vehicle crashes. Over the last decade, there has been tremendous growth in the use of portable electronic devices by both drivers and pedestrians. While National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NHTSA’s NOPUS) survey includes a measure of driver hand-held cell phone use, there is no similar measure for pedestrians. This project meshes the distracted driving initiative with the Administrator’s focus on pedestrian safety to investigate the extent to which electronic devices are used by pedestrians and drivers and the magnitude of the involvement of electronic device use in pedestrian-involved motor vehicle conflicts. The goal of this project is to determine if electronic device use by pedestrians and drivers significantly impacts pedestrian safety. The project entails (1) conducting a literature review of studies that have investigated pedestrian and driver electronic device use; (2) conducting naturalistic observations to quantify portable electronic use by pedestrians and drivers when interacting; and (3) analyzing pedestrian-motor vehicle crash data to quantify the extent to which electronic devices are involved and to determine crash typology.
