      <title>Traffic, statistics and microcomputers</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1194390</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This book describes basic statistics as relevant to traffic analysis.  It discusses the application of statistical analysis to traffic problems, introduces the techniques available for studying traffic problems and introduces statistical computer packages that are available to traffic planners.  The character of data is also discussed.  Particular emphasis is given to its reliability. Statistical techniques main aim is to inform the analyst of what the population being studied is like.  It is therefore necessary to familiarise oneself with the data, using as many statistical techniques as possible. The logical method to go about this task is first to investigate the data using visual and simple descriptive techniques.  Analysts who immediately plunge into complex model development are unlikely to achieve a full understanding of what the data is trying to say.  Once the form of the data is determined it is possible to carry out appropriate hypothesis testing. Extraneous variables can then be removed from the study before the relevant relationships determined.  The model development process is discussed and two methods of estimating model parameters are introduced.  The first estimation technique is termed regression and the second maximum likelihood estimation. The book concludes with an introduction to optimisation, and the concepts behind information theory.]]></description>

      <title>The safety of international visitors on Australian roads</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/789000</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report examines the crash and offence involvement of international visitors in road crashes in Australia, at both the national and state levels.  The available data suggests that international visitors represent a relatively small proportion of the overall number of road users killed and injured in Australia.  Nationally, international licence holders represented only 0.7 per cent of the total number of motor vehicle operators involved in fatal crashes between 1996 and 1999.  However, a major exception is the Northern Territory, where in the period 1998-2002, international visitors represented over 13 per cent of road fatalities and almost 8 per cent of injuries.  International visitors appear to experience problems associated with driving in unfamiliar conditions.  Their crashes are more likely to involve: failure to wear seat belts; driver fatigue; the overturning of vehicles; and incidents which appear to involve disorientation, such as head-on and angle crashes, and failure to keep left (particularly among drivers from right-side driving countries).

      <title>Road safety issues for older road users: selection of papers from the Older Road User Safety Symposium, 26 November 2000, Brisbane, Australia</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/771350</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This publication is a selection of papers on older road user safety which  were presented at the Older Road User Safety Symposium on Sunday 26 November 2000 at the Sheraton Brisbane Hotel, Queensland, Australia.  As this selection shows, work on older road user safety can be informed by demography, research on the mental and physical effects of aging, social research  on older people as road users, evaluation of educational and behavioural  interventions, road crash analysis, engineering research and practice, and reviews of policy approaches within Australia and elsewhere.  It is possible to summarise these into four constellations which are reflected in the papers selected for this publication: social impacts and responses; physical and cognitive capability; specific road use performance; and environment/ecology.

      <title>HIGHBALLING WITH FLIMSIES: WORKING UNDER TRAIN ORDERS ON THE ESPEE'S COAST LINE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/688910</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In classic timetable and train-order territory, the study focuses on several dimensions of train dispatchers' work, viewed through the other end of the telescope, i.e., from the perspective of the dispatched train crewmembers and others in the field.  The monograph, comprising a microethnographic case study, emphasizes the cognitive worktasks--including mental manipulations of changing information, logic of procedures, work interactions, and language used--on just one freight train trip. Railroaders' integrations and applications of circumstantially selected sets of operating rules for the movement of trains control the freight trip.  More broadly, the study constitutes a railroad apprentice's instruction for and a layman's introduction to North American railroad operating work. Specifically, a demonstration of the safety-critical nature of the corpus of interrelated railroad operating rules provides the underlying framework of the case study.  Fundamentally, a main track must not be occupied or fouled without authority, except under protection....but, in the rail world, what are the myriad possibilities of this rules foundation?  Read on.  The photos, unnecessary for an understanding of the study, could not be reproduced but their captions are included.  The timetable for the Santa Barbara Subdivision of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company (Pacific Lines), which would be helpful, is also not reproduced.  The full text of the study includes the body of all train orders and other on-paper directives from the train dispatcher.]]></description>

      <title>STRATEGIES FOR ESTIMATING DRIVER ACCIDENT RISK IN RELATION TO CALIFORNIA'S NEGLIGENT-OPERATOR POINT SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/651834</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this report, the authors apply a variety of accident prediction models to estimate a driver's accident risk and the accuracy of prediction.  The accuracy of predicting future accident risks using different combinations of demographic and prior driving record variables as predictors is assessed.  The techniques were applied to California drivers.  Results indicate that all of the models were consistent in demonstrating that the increased probability of subsequent accident involvement is associated with increased prior citation and prior accident frequencies, and being a young male.]]></description>

      <title>AIR POLLUTION IN EUROPE 1997</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/499638</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report assesses several environmental problems in which air pollution plays a major role.  The focus is on the delivery of information on pressures, state and impact.  Trends in the main driving forces influencing the state of the environment are described.  The report can also be regarded as a first building block for the production of an Annual Indicator Report, for the following four problems: (1) climate change; (2) acidification and eutrophication; (3) urban air quality, and (4) tropospheric ozone. The report also examines urban nitrogen oxides and ozone air pollution with examples from Oslo, Heilbronn and Athens.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF INDICES FOR MEASURING POTENTIAL ACCESSIBILITY IN RURAL NEWSOUTH WALES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/415301</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study has four objectives: (1) measurement of variations in accessibility to a range of functions within New South Wales through use of the road network; (2) identification of areas of NSW which suffer particular inaccessibility from variations in supply and from road network inadequacies;(3) identification of the impacts of population change and distribution of functions and network change on levels of accessibility; (4) identification of policy prescriptions which would address the issue of accessibility.  A model of the road network was constructed.  Distances for each link considered linear distance, travel time and travel costs.  The model considered accessibility to 1991 and 2016 populations, port facilities, air services and rail links.  Two network changes were considered: the proposed Motorway Pacific and the sealing of two links in the far west.  A variety ofindices were constructed.  Areas suffering inaccessibility were identified.  The report suggests that an explicit statement of the priority to be accorded improved accessibility in rural road planning is required; and a form of social impact analysis which includes consideration of accessibility be incorporated into the decision process.  This report is based on a dissertation submitted for the degree of Master of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Sydney.]]></description>
