A spectral power analysis of driving behavior changes during the transition from non-distraction to distraction.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that driver state detection needs to consider the behavior changes during the pre-starting periods, instead of only focusing on periods with physical presence of distraction, such as cell phone use. Lateral control measures can be a better indicator of distraction detection than longitudinal controls. In addition, frequency domain analyses proved to be a more robust and consistent method in assessing driving performances, when compared to time domain analyses.
