About DDI

The International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention (DDI) is the world’s leading event dedicated to research on distraction and inattention in traffic. Attracting participants from over 20 countries, DDI brings together experts from academia, industry, and government to explore the latest findings, trends, and solutions in this scientific field.

DDI2026 will feature insightful keynote presentations, engaging plenary and parallel sessions, a poster exhibition, and expert panel discussions – all designed to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and drive forward research that makes a real-world impact. Beyond the sessions, the conference offers excellent networking opportunities, facilitating research dialogue between global experts with a shared mission: to better understand, prevent and mitigate risks associated with distraction and inattention, ultimately saving lives on the road.

DDI2026 will cover a wide range of topics related to theory, measurement, effects, crash risks, and prevention/mitigation strategies concerning distraction and inattention. While the primary focus is on drivers, the conference also welcomes research on other road users – including pedestrians, cyclists, and users of emerging transport modes such as electric scooters.
