IMPACT STUDY ON DRIVING BY SPECIAL POPULATIONS. VOLUME I. CONDUCT OF THE PROJECT AND STATE-OF-THE-ART

This project was conceived to study the impact of motor vehicle driving on the public roadways by 'special populations.' Major concerns were special populations' learning to drive, being licensed to drive, and driving behavior. Impact was considered from two perspectives: the impact on the handicapped driver and the impact on the welfare of the general public. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I establishes a research data base of information directly relevant to special population motor vehicle driving. This information is summarized and presented in Volume I of the Final Reports.
