About DDI2017
The 5th International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention (DDI2017). DDI2017 has hold in Paris, France, on March 20-22, 2017, and followed the four highly successful DDI Conferences held previously in Gothenburg, Sweden (2009, 2011, 2013), and Sydney, Australia (2015).
The International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention aims to bring participants up-to-date on recent developments and trends in the field of inattention and distraction in driving, and to bring together researchers and practitioners. Participants were invited to present and discuss current work covering basic and applied research, mitigation challenges, the latest policy developments, and priorities for research and countermeasures development.
DDI2017 conference thematics included theory, measurement, effects, crash risks, and prevention/mitigation related to driver distraction and inattention. Presentations take into account new forms of mobility (e.g. automated driving.), other road user groups (e.g. motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians), new modes of HMI interaction (e.g. voice recognition, head up display, gesturing), new sources of distraction from outside the vehicle (e.g. digital advertising, LEDS signs).
DDI2017 has been co-organised by IFSTTAR (French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks), SAFER (Vehicle and Traffic Safety Center at Chalmers, Sweden), and the ARRB Group (the Australian Road Research Board).
