THE PREVENTION OF DANGEROUS BEHAVIOUR

Most traffic accidents are due to human error. The traffic task is often characterized by psychical overloading. From some in-depth analyses of accidents in which the human decision-processing capacity failed a summary is made of measures which could be taken to make the road user more compatible with the traffic situation. The covering abstract for the conference is IRRD no. 211714 /TRRL/
