Under veckan hölls International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention i Göteborg med SAFER Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre vid Chalmers som värd. Konferensen hade runt 200 deltagare från olika delar av världen och uppmärksammades av bland andra SVT.

Här kan ni höra SAFERs föreståndare Magnus Granström berätta om konferensen och vikten av forskning kring distraktion och ouppmärksamhet i trafiken, och inte minst i automatiserade fordon (börjar vid 2:21).

Publikationer från konferensen är tillgängliga via konferensens hemsida. Här är titlar på några av studier utförda av svenska forskare:

• Stress and sleepiness in city bus drivers — an explorative study on real roads within the ADAS&ME project. VTI.
