If you are using a cell phone, the more likely they are aware of "texting", Abstract of messages limited to 160 characters that can be sent or received on all modern mobile phones. Text messaging, also known as SMS SMS (Short Message Service), are increasing, including 9.8 million messages per month in December '05 to 110.4 billion in December '08. No doubt, it is sent over a few of these letters by people who drive cars. And texting while driving a dangerous idea? We decided to conduct an experiment.
Academy of previous studies much more than our scientific testing in the vehicle simulation has shown that texting while driving affects the ability of the driver. But as far as we know, there is no actual study on the car you drive. In addition, we decided to compare the results of text messages to the effects of drunk driving, the same day, and exactly in the same conditions. Not surprisingly, a car and the driver receives a large amount of research grants.
Designed to simplify things, we will focus only on the driver's reaction times of light mounted on the windshield at eye level, to simulate the brake lights in the coach. Beware the potential harm human and machine, will be held each driving in a straight line. We hired a runway at the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport in Oscoda, Michigan, near the foot runway 11,800, which was home to a squadron of B-52. Given the prevalence of Blackberry, iPhone and other friends of mobile phone text, subjects have these devices with full keyboards, "QWERTY", will be the use of mobile text messages familiar to them. And in the Internet in practice Gordon Brown, 22, carrying the iPhone, a younger audience. The cover of the older audience that Eddie Alterman, beheaded, 37 (or 259 in dog years), using a Samsung Alias. (Alterman also uses BlackBerry e-mail, and not used in the test.)
Served our Honda rider in the long term as a means test. The driver was there when the red light on the windshield, when you press the brake. The author, riding shotgun, and the use of turn key to run the red light and monitoring the results of the driver. Racelogic VBOX and data logger combined third and test data were recorded from three areas: vehicle speed via GPS antenna on the VBOX of the brake pedal position and angle of rotation through the second port OBD pilot, and the red light is on / off state of the analog inputs. Each test has a driver five times to respond to light, and dropped a slower reaction time (the amount of time between the activation of the light and the driver presses the brake).
First, we check once the reaction of the two pilots "at 35 mph and 70 mph for the readings of the baseline. And then repeat the leadership is measured while reading a text message aloud (a series of appointments Caddyshack). This was followed by a test driver to write the same message he had received only. were instructed to rats in our laboratory to use your phone as if they were on the road public, that if my mother or wife of Eddie Jordan is reading this, did not.
Test subjects and then we got off the car and focused on getting a little drunk. They want something that works quickly: screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice). Between them, beaten back all but three of the five ounces Smirnov. Soon they were laughing at the jokes for us all, car, used car
asking for cigarettes, and we talk about some of the principles that got drunk, which was totally awesome. We had to blow into breath analyzer Lifeloc FC10 and alcohol until they reached the legal driving limit of 0.08 blood alcohol level in percent. Then we put the wheel and ran a test light and the brakes without any distracting text messages.
