Abstract

One of the most important causes of traffic accidents is the Drivers’ Distraction. According to the analysis of accidents in Iran, the main cause and the highest percentage of the causes of all accidents, which is about 48%, was related to not paying attention to the front. Distracting while driving means deviating the driver's attention from safe driving and diverting the driver's attention to activities that are contrary to the task of safe driving. The innovation of this research was that it seemed that the amount of Distraction was different in different passages and between women and men, so it was necessary to conduct a research and scientifically measure and compare this difference. This research is conducted with the aim of investigating the Distraction level of car Drivers in different roads of Tehran. The current research is of a field type with a descriptive and inferential data analysis method. For this purpose, data collection has been done in the form of field observations in 12 different intersections of Tehran city, including 4 expressways, 4 Main streets and 4 secondary street. Data analysis is done descriptively and inferentially using Excel and SPSS software. Field observations of about 4,800 Drivers passing through these streets showed that about one-fifth of Tehrani Drivers are distracted while driving. The amount of Distraction of the Drivers is more in secondary streets than in Main streets and in Main streets more than in highways. It is also found that there is no significant difference for Distraction of men compared to women.
