Description
Research on driver behaviour over the past two decades has demonstrated that driver characteristics, goals and motivations are important determinants of driving behaviour. We are now in a position to apply this knowledge to driver training programs and evaluate their effectiveness in improving safety. The main objective for the First International Conference on Driver Behaviour and Training and this book, is to describe and discuss recent advances in this field. The book bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety, and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. It will encourage research in driver training to combat erroneous or deviant driving behaviour and/or reduce the effects of human error at source. This book will be of interest to road safety researchers and road safety practitioners in the private and public sector.
Reviews / Votes
'Lisa Dorn's book is...timely and a welcome addition to the field...The book will particularly appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduates on courses where there is an element of safety or driver improvement involved in the programme or dissertation...It should also be read by practitioners, those selling and those implementing driver development programmes.' Logistics and Transport Focus 'The editor has done an excellent job in bringing these papers from the first International Conference on Driver Behaviour and Training, held late 2003, so quickly to the marketplace. ... ' The book' s organization provides for a good topic balance and a strength of the collection is that it includes topics that rarely find journal space, for example, crash injuries to women drivers and vehicle design for the pregnant driver.'
