Experimental Design of Driving with Distractions at Urban Area using Simulator Driving

BACKGROUND: Traffic accidents can come from the drivers, vehicles and environment. Based on statistical data, the driver’s factor influenced for almost 94% of road accidents. In Indonesia, the number of traffic accidents that have passed in the last three years has increased by 5.63%. OBJECTIVE: This experimental design simulation will use a simple driving simulator and game that portray the conditions of urban roads in Indonesia. The purpose of designing this experiment is to obtain various things that affect the driver while on the highway. METHOD: This experimental design was created by collecting various secondary data and a literature review that examines the various factors that can cause a driver to make a mistake while driving. RESULT: There are several factors that can influence a driver. The experimental design is made using urban road, time, crowds, a city car, the productive age of respondents, and distraction from the cell phone for the secondary task. CONCLUSION: The experimental design of this study is expected to describe the effects, responses, and recommendations that driver should do while driving. The desired long-term result, of course, is to reduce the number of accidents that occur on the road.
