Antidepressants and traffic safety [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
Depression is a common disease that is often pharmaceutically treated with tricyclic antidepressants (tcas) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris). Both groups of drugs have proven to be effective in treating depressive symptoms, however they differ in adverse effect profile. This chapter discusses their effects on driving ability.

Control for Traffic Safety-Safety of Traffic Control

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003
Abstract 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.

Understanding Traffic Safety Culture: Implications for Increasing Traffic Safety

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2017
Despite 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.

Impact of traffic Enforcement on Traffic Safety

International Journal of Police Science & Management, 2017
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) have a huge cost to society in terms of death, injury and property damage. The cost of fatal MVCs alone is estimated at US $44 billion per year. Among many confounding factors, traffic citations as an element that may reduce MVC frequency are not well understood, and most research carried out to date has evaluated the ...

Traffic Safety Culture: A Primer for Traffic Safety Practitioners

2019
There 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 ...

Traffic rules and traffic safety

Safety Science, 1998
Abstract 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 ...

Macroscopic models for traffic and traffic safety

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1989
This 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

Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety

British Journal of Addiction, 1987
SummaryThis paper reviews existing empirical evidence on the possible influence of a wide range of psychotropic substances on driving ability. Substances which are considered include alcohol; antidepressants; sedatives and hypnotics; stimulants; opiates; cannabis; anaesthetics. Data are much richer in some of these areas than others. Different research
