Automated Enforcement and Traffic Safety
Management Science, 2023Traffic safety poses a persistent challenge for society and public policy. Conventional law enforcement by human police is often cost-ineffective because of information asymmetry and negative externalities of unsafe driving behaviors. Automated enforcement, in the form of traffic cameras on the road, has gained prominence in recent decades, yet its ...

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. Measuring and understanding traffic safety

This paper comes as a response to the fact that lately more and more accidents are caused by people who drive while intoxicated. Drunk drivers are not able to manage the wheel and make the most basic movements required when driving. This often puts their life and other traffic participants' lives in peril.

CPTED principles for traffic safety
Proceedings. International Symposium on Technology and Society, 2003. Crime Prevention, Security and Design. 2003., 2004Research on the spots where the rate of accidents is the highest as well as research on conflicts clearly supports the earlier assumption that there are places and times where and when human faults are not the exception but many of the people or often most of them behave in a way that goes against the expectations.

Air Pollution and Traffic Safety
1974Today’s traffic requires from the driver an increased psychophysical capability. It is therefore most important to ensure optimal observation, failure free transmission of impulses to the center of the cerebral cortex and subcortical ganglia formation of an adequate response and perfect transmission of the nerve impulse to the periphery, i.e.

Motorcycle helmets and traffic safety
Journal of Health Economics, 2009Between 1997 and 2005, the number of annual motorcyclist fatalities doubled. Motorcyclist fatalities now account for over 10 percent of all traffic-related fatalities. However, over the last three decades, states have generally been eliminating laws that require helmet use among all motorcyclists. This study examines the effectiveness of helmet use and
