DRIVING CHANGE

Dr. Francesco Biondi is a Human Factors specialist and university faculty member with deep expertise in driver attention, distraction, and performance analysis. His research focuses on how cognitive workload, multitasking, and in‑vehicle technologies influence driver behavior—particularly reaction time, hazard recognition, situational awareness, and error rates.

​

With extensive experience conducting high‑fidelity driving‑simulator studies, Dr. Biondi provides clear, evidence‑based evaluations of how distraction affects performance behind the wheel. His work has examined hands‑free phone conversations, multitasking, and other forms of cognitive load that impair both driving safety and a driver’s awareness of their own impairment.

​

As an expert witness, Dr. Biondi assists attorneys, insurers, and courts by:

• Translating complex scientific concepts into clear, accessible explanations

• Analyzing driver behavior, perception, and attention in collision scenarios

• Evaluating perception‑response time, visibility, and cognitive distraction

• Providing objective, research‑grounded testimony across civil and criminal cases

​

Dr. Biondi’s expertise bridges rigorous academic research with real‑world litigation needs. His testimony helps clarify why drivers fail to perceive hazards, delay braking, misjudge traffic conditions, or inaccurately report their own performance—issues central to many distraction‑related cases.

With a reputation for clarity, neutrality, and scientific precision, Dr. Francesco Biondi offers the specialized insight necessary to understand human performance at the moment a crash occurs.
