Driver Behaviour and Training

Dorn (human factors, Cranfield U., UK) assembles 41 essays based on papers and keynote speeches presented at the Second International Conference in Driver Behaviour and Training held in Edinburgh in 2005, focusing on recent research and its implementation with training methods, particularly unsafe driving. An international group of contributors discuss education, simulation and in-vehicle technology, young driver behavior and road safety, vulnerable road users, personality, the effect of emotions, at-work road safety, crash analysis, and attention and knowledge. Chapters describe seat- belt use, police drivers, fatigue, anger, attitudes, truck and bus drivers, and sex, drugs, and media. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
