This document evaluates a distracted driving demonstration project in Connecticut and New York. It shows that distracted driving, especially from cell phone use, has grown significantly in recent decades as cell phone ownership has increased. The project used paid media, enforcement activity, and observations to reduce hand-held cell phone use while driving in intervention locations compared to comparison locations. Surveys found remarkably high awareness of distracted driving messages and that the project increased perceived enforcement strictness and those who heard about or received tickets for violations. In conclusion, the cell phone ticketing campaign and observations showed decreases in hand-held use in intervention locations.
Radio is a healthy media. The marketplace listens everyday. It is the superpower of sound and story that links communities through audio broadcast and tools of the digital age like Facebook, Google, and Mobile.
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the Project’s research about how the internet and cell phones are affecting citizens and how government agencies have new opportunities to plug into citizens’ social networks as they try to solve problems in their lives. He will talk about the reasons people rely more and more on their social networks as they share ideas, learn, and seek support. Government agencies now have the chance to act as “nodes” in those networks. 4/22/09

Proposal
The use of cell phones has become more popular since their invention. Everyday millions of people use mobile phones for communication and online research. The growth of mobile phone industry and technology has been instrumental in making these gadgets affordable to majority including children. Studies reveal potential harm in rising use cell phones by drivers. This research seeks to identify the relationship between cell phone use and car crashes in the USA.
H0=the incremental car crash risk is proportional to time spent on the phone.
H1= the incremental car crash risk is not proportional to time spent on the phone.
The population of interest for this research is adults who are eligible to drive under the laws of the United States of America. The population that is accessible for this research consists of all American Students in the state of Illinois who meet the following criteria: 1) access to a vehicle; 2) posses a driving license 3)above the age of 18.
According to Andrew Parkes, driver’s phone conversations impair the driver’s concentration more than passenger conversations. A simulation studies report from University of Utah concluded that drivers involved in passenger conversations performed far much better than lone drivers. The report attributed this to the replication of driving task and the traffic in their conversations.
However, the report by the University of Utah has been heavily criticized by other research institutions. Meta-analysis by the University of Illinois appreciated the danger of passenger conversations. According to AAA (formerly American Automobile Association), passenger conversation was responsible for 11% of accidents related to distraction.
The effects of texting while driving have been a matter of great interest lately. 50 percent of drivers between the age of 16 and 24 confessed to having texted while driving. Two thousand young drivers die annually from accidents related to texting. In May 2009, there was a much publicized car crash in Boston where a driver crashed texting his girlfriend. On September 12, 2008, A Union Pacificfreight train and a Metrolink commuter train had a collision in Los Angeles, California. The accident claimed the lives of 25 commuters. Investigations by National Transport Safety Board (NTBS) found out that the Metrolink train operator had been texting while operating the train. The investigation concluded that the engineer might have been distracted by numerous texts he sent while on duty.
The use of phones while driving motor cars is very common today. However, this activity is considered dangerous given evidence relating cell phone use to a number of road accidents. Several states in the US have passed regulations forbidding use of phones while driving. Other states on the other hand allow the use of hands free gadgets.
Some researchers believe that using hands free gad.

Generating a Policy Proposal
Although some states and cities have passed laws to ban texting and using handheld phones while driving, there is no current law to ban all cell phone use while driving. However, according to the National Safety Council (2009), 28 percent of all crashes—1.6 million per year—are caused by cell phone use and texting by drivers. The mission of a new national nonprofit organization called FocusDriven, patterned after Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is to make phone use while driving as illegal and socially unacceptable as drunk driving. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood supports FocusDriven and its efforts: According to the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
LaHood said this movement will become "an army of people traveling the countryside" to push for bans on cell phone use and tough enforcement (Schmit, 2010).
As a political advocate interested in this issue, you will be writing a policy proposal that utilizes the current research to propose a solution to the issue and submit it in this assignment.
Please note that your proposal is
not
an opinion/position paper, and your conclusions need to be based on the scientific research you reviewed earlier. Please follow the typical steps in proper academic writing (planning, outlining, drafting, revising, proofing, and editing) to generate the following proposal structure:
Introduction
In the introduction, you should set up the purpose for the proposal, provide a bit of background on the topic, and present your thesis.
Policy
Now that you have researched a variety of studies (in
M4: Assignment 2
), compile that information together to create a recommendation for policy makers regarding cell phone use while driving.
1: In a one-page summary, compare and contrast the results of the various studies regarding the cognitive abilities that are affected during cell phone use while driving.
2: Using that research, develop and explain particular recommendations for policy makers. For instance, restrict texting, or regulate the use of hand-held phones. All your recommendations must be supported by your research findings.
3: Based on the gaps in current research, describe the variables, populations, and situations which you would like to see future research address.
Conclusion
Review the important current research, your conclusions from that research, and how the future could look in both policy and research. Keep your goal in mind: To convince the reader to support your current policy proposal and future research to examine this issue more closely.
Your proposal should be written in APA style (which includes a title page with running header and a reference page), and free of typographical and grammatical errors. The body of your proposal should be 4–5 pages long.

Using Mobile Phone Activity for Disaster Management During Floods - Project O...UN Global Pulse
Natural disasters affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide every year. Emergency response efforts depend on the availability of timely information, such the movement and communication behaviours of affected populations. As such, analysis of Call Detail Records (CDRs) collected by mobile phone operators reveal new, real-time insights about human behaviour during such critical events. In this study, mobile phone activity data was combined with remote sensing data to understand how people communicated during severe flooding in the Mexican state of Tabasco in 2009, in order to explore ways that mobile data can be used to improve disaster response. By comparing the mobile data with official population census data, the representativeness of the research was validated.

Trends and Technology in E-Payment
Abstract
Amid globalization of the economy, various E-payment technologies continue to emerge. E-payment trends and technologies are powered by the internet, which is regarded as a user-friendly communication medium and platform to obtain information and carry out financial transactions. Internet use is necessary for work, academics, business transactions, entertainment, and communication. Consequently, almost all aspects of people’s lives are now influenced by the internet. With the widespread use of the internet, most users have been identified to be adolescents and young people (Chen, Zeltmann, Griffin, Rubach & Ellis, nd). Internet use is coupled with the emergent of numerous digital devices to change the contemporary business environment. Notably, with the use of smart devices, people are adopting the use of new payment methods that are found to be extremely useful in regions that do not have good infrastructure to support conventional methods of payment. E-payment has the merit of being affordable to many users as the upward trend in its use. This inventory creates a competitive edge for entities participating in online markets.

Editor's Notes
Things that distract us from driving can be pretty much anything. Some appear t be fairly benign like talking to a passenger. We know texting can be quite distracting, but its funny that a behavior we are pushing people towards is likely distracting also---hands free is distracting. And of course there is hand held cell use and things related to GPS devices.And certainly there are different degrees of distraction. This is a hypothetical heirarchy based on common sense and theory…not research.
Of course if folks weren’t distracted while driving we could care less about it…but it appears that with the technological advances…and more people using thiese advances….more people are likely o be driving distracted. The number of americans owning cell phone has increased by 250X in the past 20 years. This is just cell phones…similar increases are lkikely to be seen with gps and ipods etc. You may have heard that ford was planning to put the capability to update your twitter account in the car.
