THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY TARGET PROGRAM - A PROGRAM FOR THE TRAINING OF GRADUATE STUDENTS AS RESEARCHERS IN THE TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROBLEM AREA
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY TARGET PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO TRAIN RESEARCHERS AT A GRADUATE LEVEL IN THE METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES APPLICABLE TO TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENT RESEARCH. IN ADDITION TO THEIR NORMAL GRADUATE COURSE WORK, EACH TRAINEE PARTICIPATES IN A QUARTERLY SEMINAR WHICH REVIEWS THE STATE OF THE ART IN VARIOUS FACETS OF LAND AND AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND DISCUSSES APPLICABLE MODELS AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES FROM THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES. THE SEMINARS ALSO PRESENT NEW ANALYTIC TECHNIQUES AND STATISTICAL METHODS, DISCUSS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF MAN AS RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, AND REVIEW CURRENT RELATED UNIVERSITY-SUPPORTED RESEARCH. THE MODUS OPERANDI OF THESE COURSES INCLUDES SELECTED LECTURERS DRAWN FROM THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY, INVITED GUEST SPEAKERS FROM THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY AT LARGE, TRIPS TO MAJOR RESEARCH FACILITIES ACROSS THE NATION, AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BY THE TRAINEES IN ON-GOING TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENT RESEARCH. /AUTHOR/
