Abstract EN
Mobile phone use while driving is a major cause of driver distraction, affecting driving performance and increasing accident risk.
Governments have responded to this with the implementation of legislation prohibiting the use of mobile phones, under specific conditions, mainly adopting the hands-free use.
Still, mobile phone is a cause of several types of distraction rather than just manual.
This study explores the effect of mobile phone use while driving via a simulator experiment.
Participants drive under various types of mobile phone use mode- namely, handheld, hands-free (wired earphone), and speaker to capture this effect.
Results highlight the effect of mobile phone use, regardless of the use mode, on driving behaviour through specific indicators: maximum driving speed, reaction time, and lateral position.
In particular, considering the aforementioned parameters the handheld mode demonstrates safer driving behaviour compared to the speaker mode.
The results of this study stress the need for a reconsideration of the present legislation.
