Smart phone data & distracted driving RFP

A program in Ohio collects data on how often drivers interact with their phones while driving. The state partnered with “ Cambridge Mobile Telematics to assess the behavior of Ohio drivers collected from smartphones and other sensor-enabled devices. ”

This data shows that Ohioans tapped their smartphones 21.9 times per 100 miles on average compared with the national average of 23.6 times per 100 miles & that Ohio drivers spent 0.78% of their driving time engaging in handheld calls, lower than the national average of 0.82%.
