In-vehicle distraction mitigation systems are designed to provide feedback to drivers about their level of distraction and associated driving performance. There are two main types of distraction mitigation methods: real-time feedback and post-drive feedback. Both types of mitigation methods differ in timescale and objective. Real-time distraction mitigation feedback is provided as the vehicle is being driven whereas post-drive feedback is provided at the end of the drive. Real-time, or concurrent, feedback redirects drivers attention to the roadway when distraction thresholds are exceeded. This most common form of distraction mitigation feedback may have an immediate impact on driving performance, but may not affect drivers willingness to engage in distracting tasks. Post-drive, or retrospective, feedback aims to change driver behavior based on prior driving performance. The method displays patterns of behavior and performance to the driver that may better target attitudinal and cultural change regarding distracted driving. A comparison of these two feedback methods was conducted to provide insight into the effect of timescale and feedback form on short-term and long-term driving performance and behavior. In addition to changing drivers attitude and performance, it is important to ensure that drivers accept the system and trust its output. Thus, the study focused on the effectiveness of each mitigation method based on driving behavior, planned behavior, and user acceptance.
