Abstract

This book chapter considers the processes that underlie distraction in aneffort to provide a useful causal explanation of distraction-related crashes and aims to describe why drivers fail to maintain an appropriate distribution of attention. This explanation of how attention is diverted away from activities critical for safe driving describes distraction as a breakdown in a multilevel control process, with a different timescale characterizing each level.
