Research on driver behaviour over the past two decades has clearly
demonstrated that the goals and motivations a driver brings to the
driving task are important determinants for driver behaviour. The
importance of this work is underlined by statistics: WHO figures
show that road accidents are predicted to be the number three cause
of death and injury by 2020 (currently more than 20 million deaths
and injuries p.a.). The objective of this second edition, and of
the conference on which it is based, is to describe and discuss
recent advances in the study of driving behaviour and driver
training. It bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety,
and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour, from a number of
different perspectives and related disciplines. A major focus is to
consider how driver training needs to be adapted, to take into
account driver characteristics, goals and motivations, in order to
raise awareness of how these may contribute to unsafe driving
behaviour, and to go on to promote the development of driver
training courses that considers all the skills that are essential
for road safety. As well as setting out new approaches to driver
training methodology based on many years of empirical research on
driver behaviour, the contributing road safety researchers and
professionals consider the impact of human factors in the design of
driver training as well as the traditional skills-based approach.
Readership includes road safety researchers from a variety of
different academic backgrounds, senior practitioners in the field
of driver training from regulatory authorities and professional
driver training organizations such as the police service, and
private and public sector personnel who are concerned with
improving road safety.
