The European Commission has a specific interest in understanding road safety risks associated with road users who are distracted and inattentive as a result of using technology. Understanding this topic will help to support an important policy objective of the European Commission – that of identifying road safety risks (so that appropriate measures can be taken). 

In this study, TRL, TNO and Rapp Trans undertook a number of tasks to answer the following research questions:

  • What is the nature and size of the distraction problem in road safety in the EU?
  • Which approaches and countermeasures have been used to reduce the road injury burden of distraction?
  • Which ‘best practice’ approaches should be used by EU states in their efforts to reduce the road injury burden of distraction (including an assessment of costs and benefits)?
