21.05.12

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) October 24, 2011

To increase safety on the road, wireless researchers are looking for technologies that can passively influence the behavior of drivers who put themselves and others at risk through distracting cell phone use. For their paper demonstrating a technique that detects drivers using phones, Dr. Yingying Chen and her graduate students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology recently won the Best Paper Award at the ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2011).

"Their research addresses the problem of distinguishing between a driver and passenger using a mobile phone, which is a key milestone for enabling numerous driver safety and phone interface enhancements," says Dr. Yu-Dong Yao, Department Director for Electrical and Computer Engineering. "MobiCom is a competitive and highly-regarded conference for mobile computing and network research, and it is a great honor to receive the Best Paper Award."

We’ll take a world-look at this, to get the gist of how different things can be. Here are a few examples:

In lower income countries, cell-phones are used for “beeping”: When a caller lacks credit, he’ll let the phone ring once, signaling he’d like to be called back. Chinese are OK with being interrupted by a phone call – it...
