Summary. Investigation purposes – a researching of psychophysiological features and an opportunity of inattention and fatigue prevention in car drivers distracted for electronic devices.

Materials and methods of the investigation. An analysis of 45 publications in Russian and English found using Cyberleninka, PubMed, Elibrary, ScienceDirect data bases was conducted.

Investigation results and their analysis A distraction of car drivers for electronic devices make them instant fatigued because of attempts of combining of driving and with unrelated to it actions. A distraction for mobile phone can stimuli all forms of attention looses – auditory, visual, biomechanical, cognitive. A conclusion was made that nowadays algorithms for attention tiredness / distraction analysis in car drivers are not distributed enough.


Key words:
attention distraction, car drivers, electronic devices, fatigue, inattention, mobile phones, navigation systems, psychophysiological features, smartphone, traffic accidents
