Description
Young drivers are early technology adopters. Rapid developments in consumer-oriented technologies (COTs) provide opportunities to encourage safer driving amongst them. Safer driving can potentially reduce road trauma. This thesis focused on using a smartphone safe-driving app and VR software as intervention tools in two separate COTs-based interventions. The undertaken approach closely mimicked their use in real-life conditions. The targeted behaviours were speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. By evaluating the two interventions, this multidisciplinary research contributed to a better understanding of the effect of using the two examples of COTs outside the laboratory.
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.
