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.
