2 SafeTREC GSR Openings Spring Semester

1. GSR opening for a distracted driving study @ SafeTREC beginning Spring 2014.

Application deadline: 12/13/2013

Project background: In the past few years, driver distraction from cell phone use has become a hot issue, with many states rushing to pass laws to regulate or ban the use of electronic devices while driving. While cell phone use is known to reduce driver attention and performance, there is limited understanding of the impact that these laws have on roadway safety.
