ABSTRACT
Pedestrian distraction is one of the important risk factors of road injury. This review summarized the epidemiological characteristics, influencing factors, safety implications, and the published intervention measures. The review found that a) the prevalence of pedestrian distraction poses a serious threat to pedestrian safety, but most epidemiological studies on pedestrian distraction focus on mobile phone use, and the incidence of pedestrian distraction varied greatly across studies using various research methods and from different countries; b) demographic characteristics, social psychology, and environment are the three main influencing factors of pedestrian distraction; c) distraction differently affected physiology, cognition, motion control, efficiency and behavior of pedestrian's street-crossing to some degrees, threatening the safety of pedestrian; d) engineering interventions and education were the most common interventions to prevent pedestrian distraction currently, but the effectiveness of most measures was not assessed rigorously. In the future, multidisciplinary and systematic epidemiological studies are recommended to design interventions purposely and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions through rigorous designs, providing scientific evidence for reducing pedestrian distraction and improving road safety of pedestrians.
