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.
