This volume gives an overview of the trends in Traffic and
Transport Psychology. It reflects the considerable development of
the most important factors for driving a road vehicle, and the
variety of international research approaches. The first part contains basic approaches and integrated models
as well as general theories and their implementation into Traffic
and Transport Psychology. The second part deals with the driver, especially cognition,
performance, social and differential effects and impairment.
Important aspects are treated, such as speed perception, reaction
times, interaction, risk acceptance, aggression and gender
differences. Special chapters refer to performance and
fatigue. The third part focuses on safety, driver support, selection and
influencing drivers by enforcement, training and programs for the
rehabilitation of traffic offenders. Classic ergonomic methods are
discussed as well as modern telematic devices, or trends regarding
driver-assessment. In the last part, current developments are presented in relation
to better mobility and the protection of the environment. Questions
are asked, such as whether we could reduce the use of cars, how
travel behaviour can be modified or to what extent the use of
alternatives to motor vehicles benefits safety as well as the
environment. This work is not only important for psychologists. It should be read by all transport professionals interested in the application of psychology to traffic.
In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was presented. It became known as the Amazon in Sweden and the 121 and 122S in export markets, the latter denoting a more sporty derivative. However, despite its substantial appearance, all Amazons were surprisingly fleet of foot - this was one of the most sporty European saloons of the 1960s. With its elegant, timeless styling the Amazon broke new ground for Volvo - and for passenger cars as a whole. This new book covers the complete story of Volvo Amazon, from 1956 onwards, including full production histories, comprehensive specification details, and over 250 photographs. An ideal resource for owners, or anybody with an interest in the evolution of these classic cars.

America's future depends on a vibrant highway system capable of supporting industry and the travel needs of its citizens. The country's highway system can trace its roots to the movements of major armies in colonial times, such as British General Braddock using George Washington's assistance in a disastrous attack of French forces defending Ft. Duquesne. These early roads developed into the engineering marvels of today's modern highway system. But this system is in serious trouble. Inadequate funding and poor management are responsible for its gradual deterioration, and along with it, the U.S. economy. A broad range of solutions can solve this problem, some of which involve transforming public transportation agencies into privately operated utilities. Many of these exciting solutions also offer the potential to solve America's funding problems. This book is must-reading for anyone concerned with America's future, as it shows us The Road Ahead...
