Given the increasing importance and availability of traffic-related smartphone applications, understanding their potential use is vital, especially in developing countries. This research explores motorist perceptions of the installation and use of two smartphone applications—a distraction-prevention application and a real-time traffic information and navigation application—in Qatar, a rapidly developing country in the Arabian Gulf region. This study represents the first attempt to investigate the potential market for these types of applications in a region with a unique social and cultural environment. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted to examine the drivers’ interest in using both applications, their willingness to buy the applications, and their data privacy concerns. The results indicated that the potential market for these types of smartphone applications in Qatar is high. The potential for the real-time route planning application was found to be much higher than that of the antidistraction application, especially among female drivers. A high percentage of the drivers, especially younger and local drivers, were less enthusiastic about installing and using the distracted driving prevention application. Most of the participants willing to use both smartphone applications did not have data privacy concerns, but in return for allowing the applications to access their data, they expected some reduction in travel time and a safer trip. These findings provide a direction for the development of future policies and smart solutions in this region.

“…The system consists of three main components as follows: The end-user interface, the vehicular network and the alternate route-tree selecting module. The end-user interface is a part of the embedded software that is installed in the end-user device which can be either a subsystem of automotive software [17] or a mobile device such as a smart phone which is integrated into the in-vehicle infotainment system [18]. Since the end-user device is equipped with a built-in GPS, current location of the user can be retrieved by the vehicular network along with the medical requirements of the patient.…”

Intelligent transportation systems aim at the betterment of the transportation in cooperation with the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Besides, cyber-physical solutions have enabled interaction between the physical and computational components of systems. This paper studies the route selection of paramedics by the assistance of a cyber-physical system which consists of vehicular communications, alternate route optimization and user interaction components. To this end, an optimal alternate routing-tree recommendation framework is proposed by adopting the minimum Steiner tree approach. Initially the mathematical model is presented and is solved as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation. Then, in order to assure fast and efficient solution, simulated annealing-based alternate routing-tree recommendation is proposed for paramedics. Through simulations, the proposed approach is shown to be capable of guaranteeing alternate route selection for paramedics with low-delay, low-cost and high resilience.

“…The smartphone has become an extension of the vehicle and is often used during the act of driving, whether to perform tasks related to driving or not. With increasing frequency, smartphones are linked to the vehicle's head unit, and they are becoming an integrated part of the vehicle's display rather than merely mounted (6). To provide designers with information on a safe display strategy, it is important to determine the relative safety of a fully integrated display compared with a mounted aftermarket display and a completely unfixed smartphone display.…”

As part of the Human Factors for Connected Vehicles program, the U.S. Department of Transportation has initiated activities to advance connectivity between vehicles (vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure). Connected vehicle system (CVS) driver interfaces have been proposed for a variety of vehicle-integrated and carry-in technologies. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the presentation of connected vehicle applications on three interfaces: integrated (e.g., in the center console), fixed to the windshield (e.g., an off-the-shelf navigation device), and mobile (e.g., cell phone). The display devices were used to present a range of safety-related and nonsafety-related CVS applications. The resulting driving performance was evaluated and analyzed. Results for the imminent safety application indicated that 67% of drivers complied with a red-light warning when they used the mobile device and that 92% of drivers complied with a red-light warning when they used either the fixed or the integrated display device. Of the eight remaining nonsafety-related applications tested, drivers looked significantly longer at the device when the information presented was not driving related. Drivers’ preference ratings also were significantly lower for information that was not driving related. These findings, combined with additional results presented in this paper, suggest that an unsecured mobile device may create safety and acceptance concerns when used as a part of a CVS.
