(Estimating proportions of drivers using mobiles phones while driving effect on safety)

Abstract

The utilization of mobile phones, while driving is unauthorized in numerous countries, yet evidence shows that people use mobile phones while driving which leads to deadly accidents. In this research, we will be inspecting the use of mobile phone while driving and will analyse how many people use mobile phones while driving in Qatar and UK. We will be making a comparative study between two countries and will choose two localities first one in the main road and the second one in the traffic light in Doha city and Great Manchester, based on their use of mobile phone while driving. We will be analysing this behavior using the data collected from different towns and various locations to get a complete understanding of how many people use mobile during driving. The data gathered will be based on the self-observation and movie recorded of the incidents.
