Psychological applications to the new field of traffic engineering

Abstract

The problems involved in the application of experimental psychological research methods combined with engineering research techniques to traffic fall into two general fields, those concerned with what the driver can do and those concerned with what the driver will do. Typical studies in both fields are presented. On the basis of such data the traffic engineer will be better able to provide traffic designs and control equipment which should prove more convenient, efficient, and easy for the driver to use.
