Designing Safe Road Systems: A Human Factors Perspective

By Richard Van Der Horst and Jan Theeuwes

The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.
