Online resources: Summary: The Handbook of Traffic Psychology covers all key areas of research in this field including theory, applications, methodology and analyses, variables that affect traffic, driver problem behaviors, and countermeasures to reduce risk on roadways. Comprehensive in scope, the methodology section includes case-control studies, self-report instruments and methods, field methods and naturalistic observational techniques, instrumented vehicles and in-car recording techniques, modeling and simulation methods, in vivo methods, clinical assessment, and crash datasets and analyses. Experienced researchers will better understand what methods are most useful for what kinds of studies and students can better understand the myriad of techniques used in this discipline. Focuses specifically on traffic, as opposed to transport Covers all key areas of research in traffic psychology including theory, applications, methodology and analyses, variables that affect traffic, driver problem behaviors, and countermeasures to reduce the risk of variables and behavior Contents include how to conduct traffic research and how to analyze data Contributors come from more than 10 countries, including US, UK, Japan, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, Mexico, Australia, Canada, Turkey, France, Finland, Norway, Israel, and South Africa.Summary: Front Cover -- Handbook of Traffic Psychology -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- List of Contributors -- Part I -Theories, Concepts, and Methods -- Chapter 1 -How Many E's in Road Safety? -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -Education -- 3 -Enforcement -- 4 -Engineering -- 5 -Exposure -- 6 -Examination of Competence and Fitness -- 7 -Emergency Response -- 8 -Evaluation -- 9 -Conclusion -- Acknowledgments -- References -- Chapter 2 -Driver Control Theory -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -The Task-Capability Interface Model -- 3 -Task Difficulty Allostasis: Temporary Influences on Risk Threshold -- 4 -Compliance -- 5 -Risk Allostasis Theory -- 6 -Alternative Conceptualizations of Driver Goals -- References -- Chapter 3 -Case-Control Studies in Traffic Psychology -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -Epidemiological Study Designs -- 3 -Case-Control Studies -- 4 -Conclusions -- References -- Chapter 4 -Self-Report Instruments and Methods -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -For What Kind of Traffic Research Can Self-Report be Used? -- 3 -Self-Reports of Accidents, Near Accidents, and Mileage -- 4 -Validity of Self-Reports of Driving -- 5 -Conclusion -- References -- Chapter 5 -Naturalistic Observational Field Techniques for Traffic Psychology Research -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -Techniques -- 3 -Applications in Traffic Psychology -- 4 -How to Design A Community-Based Safety Belt Use Survey -- 5 -Conclusions -- Acknowledgments -- References -- Chapter 6 -Naturalistic Driving Studies and Data Coding and Analysis Techniques -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -Traffic Conflict Technique -- 3 -Philosophy of Large-Scale Instrumented Vehicle Studies -- 4 -Life Cycle of Naturalistic Vehicle Studies -- 5 -Conclusions -- References -- Chapter 7 -Driving Simulators as Research Tools in Traffic Psychology -- 1 -Introduction -- 2 -What is a Driving Simulator? -- 3 -Why Use a Driving Simulator? -- 4 -To Move or Not.PPN: PPN: 809341611Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
