Investigating the Effects of Mental Workload on Highway Safety

The majority of vehicle collisions occur because of human error; in fact, studies have shown that approximately 95% of collisions are caused, at least in part, as a result of human mistakes. Therefore, it is important to study the main causes of human mistakes and develop mitigation strategies to reduce, if not eliminate, these errors from occurring. In this respect, designing highways that balance mental workload is a crucial task that ensures...
