Drivers’ driving behaviors play a very important role in road traffic safety and are affected by driver distraction. However, the research on driver distraction mostly focuses on high-speed situation and closed sections; there is a lack of research on low-speed situation and open sections. There are few studies on crash or near-crash scenarios. In this paper, we choose pedestrian-vehicle traffic conflict at unsignalized intersections to study the effect of two driver distractions—auditory-cognitive distraction and visual-cognitive distraction—on drivers’ perception and reaction to traffic conflicts. We adopt the multivariate analysis method to explore the effect of different kinds of driver distraction on drivers’ perception and reaction in the traffic conflict. Analytical results show that driver distraction significantly delays the driver’s action response time. However, driver distraction has no significant effect on the driver’s emotional perception stage, but the driver’s emotion perception time of conflicts has obvious lag.
