摘要

This research explores the impact of visual distraction duration from multifunctional in-car displays on driver safety. Utilizing a driving simulator and eye-tracking technology, this study involved 35 participants in visual search and car-following tasks, assessing their performance and mental workload across different durations of distraction. The results show that distractions lead to a decrease in driving control and a rise in mental workload, characterized by deteriorated vehicle handling and longer reaction times. With continued exposure to distractions, drivers begin to adapt, indicating a non-linear relationship between the duration of distraction and its consequences. This adaptation points to a threshold beyond which the negative effects of distractions no longer intensify. This work aids in developing safer automotive interfaces by highlighting the effects of larger screen trends on driving behavior and proposing strategies to mitigate distractions. It enriches the discourse on human–machine interaction by offering fresh perspectives on how visual distraction duration from in-car displays influences driving dynamics and cognitive load, thereby enhancing road safety.
