Distracted driving, allowing non-driving tasks to interact with demands of driving tasks, is a risky behavior that is on the rise with young, inexperienced drivers who use cell phones while driving. Task-capability Interface (TCI) Theory purports when driving task demands exceed driver capability, driving performance decreases. In-vehicle support systems (IVSS) have been shown to aid the impaired elderly driver. Because past research has also shown that the distracted young driver performs as poorly as the impaired elderly driver, the effects of IVSS were explored on young distracted drivers. The purpose of this quantitative experimental study was to test TCI theory by examining young driver performance while using the study variables cell phones and IVSS. Data were collected from 48 randomly selected (18-24 year-old) college students who were tested under different conditions in a fixed-based driving simulator, and ANOVA between-subjects were used to test hypotheses related to the effects of cell phone and IVSS use. When the driving condition that used cell phones were compared to the control condition (no cell phone), results revealed a significant difference in total driving errors, F(1, 44) = 12.50,p < .05. Likewise, when the driving condition that used cell phones and IVSS were compared to the control condition, results revealed a significant interaction effect of total driving errors, F(1, 44) = 4.45, p < .05. Implications suggested that when young drivers use cell phones, they experience significantly poorer driving performance, but when they use IVSS and cell phones, their driving performance is significantly better than without IVSS. Recommendations for all Traffic Safety Programs/Organizations, government and automakers included increased awareness of how distractions can significantly impair driving performance and that IVSS can help the driving performance of distracted drivers. Automakers and lawmakers should continue to investigate and implement measures to manage driver capability by alerting them of potential hazards. Recommendations for future research included qualitative studies to allow for a deeper understanding of what the distracted driver experiences, and quantitative studies using more diverse groups, different forms of IVSS such as audio or tactile, and changes to the scale of severity for violations.
