Significance: This paper presents findings about the riskiest factors faced by drivers as informed through the first large-scale, crash-only analysis of naturalistic driving data. Results indicate that many secondary tasks or activities, particularly resulting from the use of handheld electronic devices, are of detriment to driver safety. The analysis uses a large naturalistic database comprising continuous in situ observations made via multiple onboard video cameras and sensors that gathered information from more than 3,500 drivers across a 3-y period.

Background: Driver distraction is a major contributing factor to crashes, which are the leading cause of death for the US population under 35 years of age. The prevalence of secondary-task engagement and its impacts on distraction and crashes may vary substantially by driver age.

About Me
Miguel Perez, Ph.D., received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech in 1999 and 2005 respectively. He currently serves as the Associate Head for Research and Graduate Studies in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics and as a Research Scientist within the Division of Data and Analytics at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. Some of his previous projects have touched on areas including driver distraction, human modeling, advanced driver assistance systems, automated driving systems, and driver performance in test track and naturalistic environments. He currently leads several efforts related to naturalistic driving study design and analysis, data standardization, data preparation, data mining, and data analysis. Dr. Perez is an active member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, SAE International, the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He has been recognized with several awards, including the Golden Pen Award, the Leader in Teaching award (2021), and the Liviu Librescu Faculty Prize for research and educational achievement (2021) at Virginia Tech.
