Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychology of Driving: Factors of Traffic Enforcement
For the past several years we have studied a number of phases of highway safety which have been published in various magazines, scientific journals and other publications. A large number of requests have been made for the papers and it has been suggested that they be brought together into a volume of reasonable size which would be available for anyone having an interest in these specific investigations. Most of the papers are based on experimental studies and the conclusions drawn. We have tried not to include items which are of dubious nature or which are based mostly on opinion.
We are indebted to the Ohio State University Psychological Laboratory for the start in this field and to the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University for the opportunity to pursue these studies through the years. In many cases the results were obtained by collaboration with different persons and in such instances credit will be given. The various studies have been aided by grants from the American Optometric Association, the Allstate Insurance Company, the American Automobile Association, the U. S. Army, the Allied Mutual Insurance Company, the National Research Council, Thomas J. Lipton, Inc., and the Outdoor Advertising Association. The director of the various studies has been responsible for their development into final shape. The titles have been arranged as nearly as possible in a logical order.
Credit is due Dr. Virtus W. Suhr for most of the material in Chapter X on rest pauses. Numerous graduate students have worked on phases of other studies as is indicated in the references at the end of each chapter.
