Unprecedented study on notifications while driving

During the summer period, Assurance Prévention wanted to analyze the impact of smartphone notifications on drivers’ behaviour. Once again this year, Develter Innovation was chosen as the preferred partner to conduct this experiment on its driving simulators.* By analysing driver behaviour, this groundbreaking study shows how visual or audible alerts from a smartphone can significantly impair concentration…

Road safety: detecting weak signals to prevent accidents

On the road, over 90% of accidents are caused by human error*. The majority are linked to fatigue or inattention. These are warning signs of imminent danger. Knowing how to identify them is essential for safer driving. Micro-inattention and minor errors: the first signs of danger Inattention is one of the main causes of road…
