TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Safety impacts of vehicular information technology JO - International journal of vehicle design A1 - Moriarty, P A1 - Honnery, D SP - 176 EP - 186 VL - 31 IS - 2 N2 - Although road traffic fatalities in the high-income countries have fallen markedly in recent decades, non-fatality crashes have not. Further reduction in crash severity and frequency will be hampered by probable motorized travel. Distraction from the driving task could also increase in parallel with in-vehicle telematics use. Use of the new information technology is increasingly seen as a solution to the road safety problem. It is argued here that although the new technology has a key role to play in improving road transport generally, and could be very useful in crash protection, it will be of less help in reducing collision frequency. Keywords: Driver distraction
