“…These strategies are chosen according to the anticipation of demand needed to handle the situation. In other words, drivers are more likely to reject the secondary task in high-demand driving situations (e.g., rural roads) compared to low-demand situations (e.g., urban roads; Rauch et al, 2008). Similar results have been reported in a more recent study (Schömig et al 2011).…”

“…Moreover, the results of 2 recent experimental studies showed that drivers decisions regarding a secondary task (menu navigation) are based on their anticipation of demand needed to handle the driving situation (Rauch et al 2008;Schömig et al 2011). When the overall driving task demand is high, drivers use 2 compensatory behaviors (reject the secondary task or delay acceptance) to avoid making driving errors.…”

“…It seems that this finding should be considered carefully because of the sample characteristic of the study (age range of participants and their driving experience). Rauch et al (2008) revealed that the type of road (urban versus rural roads) can highly influence drivers' decisions regarding the presented secondary task. However, our findings did not support our hypothesis regarding the effect of road type on drivers' decisions.…”

“…Rauch et al [10] used simulated urban and rural stretches of road, varying the demand based on how easily critical incidents, such as a car pulling out or pedestrian crossing the road, could be predicted. It was found that both road type and the situations' criticality significantly influenced willingness to engage, with more tasks being rejected on rural roads and when a critical incident was about to take place.…”

“…In this regard, the possibility to interrupt the phone interaction plays a crucial role (Huth and Brusque, 2013). Interruptions of secondary tasks in order to execute controls of the primary task have been described as an interaction strategy with in-vehicle devices (Rauch et al, 2008). However, phone interactions might not always be easily dividable into several chunks that allow the driver to pay attention to the traffic situations at regular and appropriate intervals.…”

Phone use while driving has become one of the priority issues in road safety, given that it may lead to decreased situation awareness and deteriorated driving performance. It has been suggested that drivers can regulate their exposure to secondary tasks and seek for compatibility of phone use and driving. Phone use strategies include the choice of driving situations with low demands and interruptions of the interaction when the context changes. Traffic light situations at urban intersections imply both a temptation to use the phone while waiting at the red traffic light and a potential threat due to the incompatibility of phone use and driving when the traffic light turns green. These two situations were targeted in a roadside observation study, with the aim to investigate the existence of a phone use strategy at the red traffic light and to test its effectiveness. N=124 phone users and a corresponding control group of non-users were observed. Strategic phone use behaviour was detected for visual-manual interactions, which are more likely to be initiated at the red traffic light and tend to be stopped before the vehicle moves off, while calls are less likely to be limited to the red traffic light situation. As an indicator of impaired situation awareness, delayed start was associated to phone use and in particular to visual-manual interactions, whether phone use was interrupted before moving off or not. Traffic light situations do not seem to allow effective application of phone use strategies, although drivers attempt to do so for the most demanding phone use mode. The underlying factors of phone use need to be studied so as to reduce the temptation of phone use and facilitate exposure regulation strategies.
