Transportation, Traffic Safety and Health - Human Behavior

H. von Holst (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden),A. Nygren (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden),A.E. Andersson (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden)

The focus of this book is to present the latest aspects in the area of human behavior and its relation to planning of an optimal traffic safety. The contributions from authors in various disciplines such as scientists, medical practitioners, administrators and practitioners from the car industry examine how road-user behavior can cause accidents and how decision-makers from various sectors of society may influence road users’ behavior. The development of modern vehicles and new traffic systems requires more sophisticated behavior and technology. New medical technologies such as improved neuropsychologic methods and descriptive mapping of behavior with imaging techniques facilitate the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of human behavior. The increased knowledge of normal and pathologic behavior contributes to strenghten primary prevention with the goal of reducing traffic accidents.
