Download or read book Designing Safe Road Systems written by Jan Theeuwes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books focus on individual differences and how those relate to traffic safety such as accident proneness, gender differences, age, alcohol, and the effects of drugs. Others focus on the safety effects regarding the vehicle such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, navigation systems, intelligent cruise control and other new gadgets coming to the vehicle. Even though these topics are undoubtedly important for traffic safety, this book takes a unique approach as it focuses solely on the road environment. Designing Safe Road Systems provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. It uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors. This understanding will ultimately lead to road systems that prevent (fatal) errors from occurring. The book contains an overview of the current models and theories about human performance and human behaviour in traffic that are relevant for all those involved in designing safe road systems. The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.

Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 292 ... recommends the creation of an independent scientific advisory committee (SAC). The SAC would be charged with development of a transparent process for identifying and prioritizing research needs and opportunities in highway safety, with emphasis on infrastructure and operations, and using the process developed to recommend a national research agenda focused on highway infrastructure and operations safety. The report also explores opportunities to improve the quality of highway safety research." -- publisher's website.

Download or read book Human Factors in Highway Transport Safety written by Harvard University. Department of Industrial Hygiene and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In an attempt to discover some of the less obvious or hidden causes of these accidents and to suggest appropriate corrective measures, a research project was initiated in the field of highway transport safety at the Harvard School of Public Health in the fall of 1949. Primary emphasis was to be placed on the role of human factors in the prevention of accidents. When the project was begun it was apparent that accidents were caused by a combination of circumstances which involved the drivers, their equipment, and the operating conditions on the highways. This implied that a team of scientists, with specialized training in the fields of safety engineering, psychology, physiology, anthropology, and preventive medicine should participate in the study. Such an interdisciplinary approach is characteristic of schools of public health, and the one at Harvard seemed to be a particularly appropriate place for a program of this type. Extensive study and research, as applied to aviation and other industrial fields, had already been carried out in its Department of Industrial Hygiene. Here also were to be found the various academic disciplines necessary to the solution of the broad problems influencing health and safety in highway transportation. In this research program which has been undertaken in the field of highway transport safety, four separate studies have now been completed. The subject matter of the present, or third, study has been divided into five major areas as indicated in the following Table of Contents. The introductory section, Part I, gives a brief outline of the importance of accidents in general, and of highway accidents in particular. The various approaches for the reduction of accidents in the truck and bus industries are also presented. The following four parts of the report relate to: Part Il. The Selection of Drivers, Part Ill. Human Maintenance, Part IV. Human Factors in the Design of Equipment, and Part V. Operating Procedures and Accidents. The original research findings from this investigation on highway transport safety have been integrated with previously published studies throughout the report. A selected bibliography is given at the end of each chapter for reference purposes. A glossary of terms frequently used in the highway transport industry and in the biological sciences, as well as a general topical index, are included at the end of the report."--Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic psychology is a rapidly expanding and broad field within applied psychology with a considerable volume of research activities and a growing network of academic strands of enquiry. The discipline primarily focuses on the behaviour of road users and the psychological processes underlying these behaviours, looking at issues such as cognition, distraction, fatigue, personality and social aspects, often delivering practical applications and educational interventions. Traffic psychology has been the focus of research for almost as long as the motor car has been in existence and was first recognised as a discipline in 1990 when the International Association of Applied Psychology formed Division 13: Traffic and Transportation Psychology. The benefits of understanding traffic psychology are being increasingly recognised by a whole host of organisations keen to improve road safety or minimise health and safety risks when travelling in vehicles. The objective of this volume is to describe and discuss recent advances in the study of traffic psychology, with a major focus on how the field contributes to the understanding of at-risk road-user behaviour. The intended readerships include road-safety researchers from a variety of different academic backgrounds, senior practitioners in the field including regulatory authorities, the private and public sector personnel, and vehicle manufacturers concerned with improving road safety.
