- Various forms of distraction (advertising, wearable devices, etc.)
- Distraction in the context of automation
- Factors that give rise to inattention and distraction
- Driver engagement with technology as an addiction
- The disconnected driver
- Driver characteristics and individual differences

IMPACT
- Effects on driving performance
- Effects on driver behaviour and information processing
- Effects on crash and near‐miss occurrences
- Impact on crash and injury risk
- Factors mediating impact (e.g., age, experience and gender)
- Measurement of distraction and inattention (can be combined with the one below)
- Measurement of public perceptions about distraction and inattention
- The impact of trust, overreliance and expectation on driver distraction and inattention
- Methods for safety impact assessment, e.g:
- Test track and driving simulator experiments
- Virtual and augmented reality
- Virtual simulations using computational driver models
- The validity of safety impact assessment metrics
COUNTERMEASURES
- Legislation and enforcement
- Company and transport policies
- Road and infrastructure design
- Vehicle and human-vehicle interface design
- Design of technologies that prevent or mitigate the impact of driver distraction and inattention design on safety
- Driver monitoring as a facilitator of countermeasures
- Real‐time distraction prevention and mitigation systems
- Promotion/Advertising
- Education, training and driver licensing

If you have any questions regarding abstracts please contact: ddi2022@meetx.se
Transportation Research Part F
We co-operate with the high impact factor scientific journal Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour and the authors of the best abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper to a special issue of the journal. Accepted papers (after TRF’s review process) will be published in a standard TRF issue, then compiled in an online special issue. There are benefits in submitting an extended abstract to DDI for potential invitation to submit a full paper to TRF, compared to submitting the paper directly to TRF. Invited papers that get through the TRF review as accepted papers will be included in a virtual special issue, increasing exposure of your publication. In addition, the DDI scientific committee that will review the extended abstracts will also be asked to review the corresponding full versions of the papers. We believe this will facilitate faster review turn-around times, due to early commitments for full paper reviews.
All conference abstracts will be peer-reviewed by at least two international experts on driver distraction and inattention, all of whom are members of the conference’s Scientific Committee. All accepted abstracts will be published at the conference website.
