Just as our transport systems become more and more important to our
economic and social well-being, so they become more and more
crowded and more at risk from congestion, disruption, and collapse.
Technology and engineering can provide part of the solution, but
the complete solution will need to take account of the behaviour of
the users of the transport networks.
The role of psychologists in this is to understand how people
make decisions about the alternative modes of transport and about
the alternative routes to their destinations, to understand how
novice and other vulnerable users can develop safe and effective
behaviours, how competent users can operate within the transport
system optimally and within their perceptual and cognitive
limitations.
The contributions to this volume address these issues of how the
use of our transport systems can be improved by taking into account
knowledge of the behaviour of the people who use the systems.
Topics discussed include driver training and licensing, driver
impairment, road user attitudes and behaviour, enforcement and
behaviour change, driver support systems, and the psychology of
mobility and transport mode choice.
This work will be of value not only to psychologists but to all
transport professionals interested in the application of psychology
to traffic.
