A Compendium Of Nhtsa S Pedestrian And Bicyclist Traffic Safety Research Projects 1969 2007

"Document[s] the regulatory, administrative, and financial tools used by communities to provide safe pedestrian environments ... captures tools and strategies reported as effective in a range of contexts (e.g., geography, community size, weather, demographics, and regulatory requirements) and development conditions. Development conditions addressed include new and infill development, street reconstruction, and retrofitting."--Summary.

Describes the basic research procedures used in the area of driving behavior and highway safety.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) Office of Program Development and Evaluation (OPDE) conducts research and evaluation projects dealing with human attitudes, behaviors, and failures (motor vehicle crashes). This compendium is an annotated bibliography of 10-year's worth of behavioral research sponsored by NHTSA and conducted by OPDE. It provides a brief description of nearly two hundred OPDE projects past, present, and on-going. The compendium also includes information on how individual reports can be obtained.

This compendium is an annotated bibliography of 10 years worth of behavioral research. It provides a brief description of nearly 200 projects past, present, & on-going in the following areas: alcohol-impaired driving, drug-impaired driving, occupant protection (crash injury, education, surveys), speed & other unsafe driving actions (problem identification, enforcement), pedestrian & bicyclist safety, older drivers (program planning, problem identification, program development), novice & young drivers (problem identification, training development & evaluation, & countermeasures), & other traffic safety research.

"This report completes and updates the first edition of NCHRP Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems (HFG), which was published previously in three collections. The HFG contains guidelines that provide human factors principles and findings for consideration by, and is a resource document for, highway designers, traffic engineers, and other safety practitioners."--Foreword.
