Project Summary/Abstract The overall goal of the proposed project is to prevent young drivers from using their mobile phones (e.g., texting, calling or messaging through a third-party app) while driving. A novel technology is proposed to reduce the prevalence of distracted driving due to mobile phone use. The system will innovatively engage the senders of smartphone communications in the process of preventing distractions. The leading health threat to teens in the U.S. is motor vehicle crashes. Teens behind the wheel and their peer passengers account for one in every five deaths of 15 to 19 year-olds in the United States. According to police crash reports, cellphone use while driving among teen drivers greatly increases the likelihood of severe injuries in crashes. In 2018, 89% of teens owned a smartphone and 80% of teens are daily texters. Teens strongly intend to use their cellphone for calling or texting in general and are significantly more likely than adults to engage in text-messaging while driving. Teens know the dangers of distracted driving intellectually, yet continue to participate. Teens feel particularly strongly that they need to answer calls or reply to texts from a parent while they are driving and report the person who contacts them most often while they are driving is a parent. Many states are enacting laws to curb texting and cellphone use while driving; however, the continued prevalence of this activity even where it is illegal illustrates the need for novel solutions. Technological solutions, in the form of hardware or software that block texting and calling (interlocks) exist, but their effectiveness to date has been limited for a variety of reasons and these technologies only seek to affect the behavior of the driver. We propose a novel technological solution that engages both the driver and the person sending a message to the driver in the mission of preventing distracted driving.

项目概要/摘要 拟议项目的总体目标是防止年轻司机使用手机（例如发短信、 开车时通过第三方应用程序拨打电话或发短信）。提出了一种新技术来减少 由于使用手机而导致分心驾驶的现象普遍存在。该系统将以创新方式吸引发件人 智能手机通信过程中防止分心。青少年面临的主要健康威胁 美国是机动车事故频发的国家。开车的青少年及其同伴乘客占五分之一 美国 15 至 19 岁青少年死亡。根据警方事故报告，开车时使用手机 青少年司机在车祸中严重受伤的可能性大大增加。 2018 年，89% 的青少年拥有 智能手机，80% 的青少年每天都发短信。青少年强烈想要使用手机打电话或发短信 一般情况下，比成年人更有可能在开车时发短信。青少年知道 分心驾驶的危险，但仍继续参与。青少年特别强烈地感觉到他们 需要在开车时接听父母的电话或回复短信，并举报联系他们的人 最常见的是，当他们开车时是父母。许多州正在颁布法律来限制发短信和手机的使用 开车时；然而，这种活动即使在非法的情况下仍然持续盛行，这表明需要新的 解决方案。技术解决方案，以硬件或软件的形式阻止发短信和通话（互锁） 存在，但迄今为止，由于各种原因，它们的有效性受到限制，并且这些技术只是寻求 影响驾驶员的行为。我们提出了一种新颖的技术解决方案，让驾驶员和驾驶员都参与其中 人们向驾驶员发送消息，以防止分心驾驶。
