3.2. Smartphone Application for Distracted Driving Prevention
Many applications are available to reduce the mobile phone use while driving. Some applications work automatically by detecting the movement of the car. For example, Spring’s Driver First application is a monthly paid smartphone application that locks phones when a car is moving faster than 10 mph, using the phone’s accelerometer but not GPS to prevent battery drain. This application is targeted at parents who want to enable restrictions on their driving-age children. When using the application, calls are automatically sent to voicemail. Audio tones for email and text messages are silenced. The application also triggers autoreply messages. When the application detects that the vehicle has stopped moving for a few minutes (i.e., not at stop signs or traffic lights), all phone functions return to normal automatically. The device can be unlocked by using the exit and 911 buttons, which can override the application, but parents can choose to be notified when this occurs [25]. Another application with similar capabilities is bSafeMobile. This application identifies the driving condition and then automatically switches the device to safe mode. During this stage, access to the keyboard and screen is blocked. Furthermore, all notifications and alerts, texts, emails, and incoming calls are blocked [26].
Other applications are less sophisticated and require driver input. For example, DriveMode is a free application that helps to keep drivers’ attention on the road, but the driver has to enable it every time before driving. It automatically replies to any incoming text messages; silences audio tones for texts, emails, and phone calls; and blocks web browsing and outgoing phone calls [27]. Some applications restrict the use of mobile phones in addition to other equipment in the car. For example, Cellcontrol uses Bluetooth-enabled technology in the vehicle instead of using GPS to detect vehicle movements and then apply the policy. Cellcontrol prevents distracted driving by disabling mobile phones and also mobile devices such as tablets and laptops [28]. Other applications promote hands-free usage as a solution. For example, the DriveSafely application reads to the driver the received emails and text messages and then responds automatically without the user having to touch the phone [29].
