Description

This research project intends to explore the relationship between texting tendencies and the transportation behaviors of walking and driving. One intriguing and increasingly prevalent phenomenon arising from this digital revolution is the act of texting while in motion, specifically while walking and driving. When young drivers are operating a vehicle, 42% report they read text messages (Taylor & Blenner, 2015). Similarly, Jiang et al. (2017) found that 40% of people look at their phone when moving through a crosswalk. While research has been conducted on this topic, many researchers have not specifically looked into collisions with both cell phone use while driving and cell phone use while walking, which we believe is a major research gap. Therefore, this research analyzes past collision experiences in relation to behavioral intentions to use cell phones while walking and driving.
