Risky gadgets to the rescue: Reframing in-car technology use as task engagement
Steinberger, Fabius (2018) Risky gadgets to the rescue: Reframing in-car technology use as task engagement. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.
Description
This thesis deepens our understanding of boredom as a trigger for unsafe user experiences, e.g., smartphone distractions behind the steering wheel. Addressing such driver distractions, this study explores how the use of in-car technologies can be reframed as a strategy to increase driver attention. To that end, it presents the design and evaluation of digital interventions aimed at reducing boredom while increasing safety. The study's contributions pave the way for new approaches to enhancing task engagement in vigilance settings that are increasingly augmented by digital technologies, within and beyond the context of mobility.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
