Advancing Vision Zero by Reducing/Eliminating the Causes and impacts of Distracted Driving

Winter 2021

The objective of Durham’s Vision Zero Plan is to ultimately eliminate all serious collisions on Regional / Municipal roadways. Distracted driving is one of the major causes of collisions. The goal for this project was to develop a simulation game/tool prototype that examines the impacts of various distracting elements along a typical roadway on driver behaviour, their collision potential, and potential measures to mitigate the adverse impacts.
