Review:

""Overall, I was impressed by the breadth of coverage of Handbook of Traffic Psychology as well as the inclusion and representation of several international sources. Although there are some chapters that are less comprehensive in scope, they all contribute to the overall effort. The editor should be commended for gathering an impressive list of authors who, in my opinion, adequately fulfilled his ambitious goals for the handbook."--PsycCritiques June 27, 2012, Vol. 57, Release 25, Article 8"

From the Back Cover:

The Handbook of Traffic Psychology is a comprehensive manual to traffic psychology's issues, methods, populations, and countermeasures. Representing an interdisciplinary perspective from psychology, engineering, political science, and public health, the book summarizes recent research findings in six key areas vital to traffic psychology. With contributors representing 12 countries on five continents, the book explores 1) theories, concepts, and methods; 2) key variables to understand in traffic psychology; 3) key problem behaviors; 4) vulnerable and problem road users; 5) major countermeasures to reduce risk; and 6) interdisciplinary issues.

From distracted drivers to fatigue and impaired driving, the Handbook tells us what causes the most menace on the roads, how we cope with it as a society, and what more needs to be done. The Handbook discusses how drivers cope with the demands of driving, from visual search patterns to human factor considerations, as well as how our personalities and neuroscience all play a role in reactions and behaviors. Special attention is also given to those populations most at risk for harm on our roadways.

The Handbook is for serious scholars of the field as well as for those beginning its study. It can be used for a graduate course on traffic psychology as well as a reference to researchers.
