- I am a member of the "Developing technology-neutral road rules for driver distraction" working group. The Australian Road Rules relating to driver distraction from technology devices have not kept pace with the convergence in technology and are becoming quickly outdated. The rules focus on the type of technology being used rather than the function of the technology. This project seeks to develop rules that focus on better outcomes for road users regardless of the technology used. The project should result in rules which manage the distraction risks posed by technology while encouraging innovation and ensuring technology that has the potential to improve safety is not inhibited.

- Details
- I was invited to present my work in a private seminar at the Department of Transport and Main Roads. The presentation included challenges (e.g. self-regulation, enforcement-avoidance strategies, and high-risk groups) and potential countermeasures (e.g. mobile phone apps and workload managers) for mobile phone distracted driving. The participants included policy-makers and stakeholders.
