The impact of road advertising signs on driver behaviour and implications for road safety: A critical systematic review (2019, background): “The level of distraction an individual may experience when driving past a roadside advertising sign may also differ according to transient factors such as fatigue and motivations (Horberry and Edquist, 2008).”
Review of Driving Performance Parameters Critical for Distracted Driving Research (2017, neutral): “Headway is an indication of the safety margin that drivers are willing to accept, and thus, short headways are often interpreted as being indicative of degraded driving performance and a measure of high secondary task load (Regan et al., 2008).”
State of science: mental workload in ergonomics (2015, background): “As well as these diverse applications, MWL has also been used to assess the critical levels of driver distraction from numerous vehicle-born and hand-held devices (see Regan, Lee, and Young 2009).”
Driver performance effects of simultaneous visual and cognitive distraction and adaptation behavior (2012, background): “Cognitive distractions can also cause drivers to fail to perceive critical cues in the roadway environment but, more importantly, fail to project the intent of other drivers (Malaterre, 1990). Recarte and Nunes (2000) found cognitive distraction to cause drivers to concentrate their gaze in the cent”
