Epilepsia, 1993
Summary:We previously reported that drivers with epi lepsy have somewhat higher age‐adjusted rates of traffic accidents and moving violations than do drivers without epilepsy. We attempted to identify medical and other fac tors contributing to this increase.

Hypersomnolence and Traffic Safety
Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2017Many people die or become disabled because of motor vehicle accidents. Scientific data suggest that sleepy drivers or those driving at odd hours are more likely to make driving mistakes. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea and narcolepsy have been found to exhibit higher rates of falling asleep while driving. Treatment enhances the vigilance of these

Understanding Traffic Safety Culture: Implications for Increasing Traffic Safety
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2017Despite the success of various engineering, education, and enforcement measures, fatalities and injuries from traffic collisions remain one of the major global problems. It has been advocated that addressing this massive problem requires a fundamental transformation in the traffic safety culture of road users.

Control for Traffic Safety-Safety of Traffic Control
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003Abstract Starting from a probabilistic safety concept and from traffic safety statistics, a systematic analysis of the control engineering functions is made, which have to be safeguarded for safe transport systems. These functions are then structured with respect to a number of different aspects.

Traffic rules and traffic safety
Safety Science, 1998Abstract In the present paper the effects of traffic rules on driver behaviour and on traffic safety are discussed. The discussion is mainly based on research conerning driver’s use of safety equipment, their speed adjustment and drunken driving with respect to safety potential, effects of the rules, and effects of enforcement on driver behaviour ...

Traffic Safety Culture: A Primer for Traffic Safety Practitioners
2019There is growing interest in “traffic safety culture” (TSC) as a key factor to manage and sustain safe roadway transportation systems, especially as more jurisdictions adopt targets of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. However, the theory, terminology, and methods involved in addressing TSC come from human and social science disciplines ...

Macroscopic models for traffic and traffic safety
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1989This paper describes models for traffic volumes and traffic safety. These models have a very simple mathematical form and consist of time parameters only. The first model assumes that fatality rates follow a negative exponential function. The second model assumes a logistic type of saturation model for traffic volumes. The models are applied to traffic

Contemporary Sociology, 1995
Peter Rothe's absorbing volume ex-amines one of the most important areas of modern life, the culture of the automobile. Rothe takes a problem central to everyday life--auto safety-- and reconstructs it into a means of revealing the human condition.
