N2  - Traffic accident investigations have shown that some form of attentional failure is a common causal factor in traffic accidents. An overview of the literature suggested four basic attributes, or dimensions, of attentional performance: intensity; distribution; regularity; and mode of control. The indicators of attentional performance have been discussed in two major groups, behavioral and physiological. Behavioral indicators include: drivers' self- assessments of their attentional condition, observers' judgments of attention-related driving errors, driver-vehicle performance as measured through vehicle dynamics, drivers' looking behavior, and performance on non-driving tasks. Physiological indicators include such measures as heart rate, electro-dermal response, and brain and muscle electrical activity. No single measure has been identified which reliably and unequivocally indicates inattention. Several issues for further research have been identified.      Keywords: Driver distraction;<p />
