Abstract

Strategies to contend with driver distraction may no longer be sufficient for the emerging variety of contemporary driver distractions. A more systematic and systemic approach holds promise for improved road safety but is not currently being developed. This systematic review of multiple driver distractions
aims to address this gap and presents two key findings. Systematic classification of distracting tasks with respect to driving is challenging, and engagement with Multiple-Additional-to-Driving(MAD) tasks is almost universally detrimental to driving performance. A model is presented to assist in systematically
characterising multiple driver demands. Identified literature is placed into context using the model and shortfalls are identified.
