IDENTIFICATION OF COUNTERMEASURES FOR UNSAFE DRIVING ACTIONS. VOLUME II: A REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE

Literature on decision-making and social control was reviewed to identify key principles of human behavior that have potential for reducing the incidence of speed-too-fast and other conscious and intentional unsafe driving actions (UDAs). The review was a part of a large study to define UDAs in operational terms and to identify promising countermeasures for the UDAs. Strategies are also discussed regarding incentives and punishments, and implementing attitude-change techniques.
