EXAMINING THE PARAMETERS OF THE HUMAN ELEMENT IN A PROGRAM MATRIX FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY RESEARCH

The report examines the parameters of the human involvement in the Program Matrix for Highway Safety Research through the pre-crash, crash, and post-crash collision phases. After examining the sub-components of the human involvement through each collision phase, possible recommendations for better understanding of responsibilities to address encumbent problems are discussed. The responsibilities discussed are not policy matters; they represent the type of thought required in this training project to stimulate discussion as to where responsibilities lie in correcting human related problems and malperformances, and what may reasonably be expected or not expected from the driver (or pedestrian), the motoring public (as a corporate individual), the community, industry, and associations, research institutions and learned societies.
