Abstract
With the increasing number of people killed by distracted driving, drivers’ attention has become a fundamental challenge recently. Performing non-driving-related tasks can make drivers manually, visually, and cognitively distracted. Therefore, there are various definitions and categories for distraction based on the distraction source. Yet, detecting manual and visual distractions are easily but cognitive distractions are hard to identify and measure. Thus, detection, assessment, and evaluation of driver’s distraction seem crucial in the safety area. This study aims to (a) present different definitions of driver distraction, (b) introduce various methods to detect driver inattention, and (c) discuss each method’s pros and cons and give an insight for an all-inclusive measurement to detect drivers’ distraction.
