Traffic Safety applies the methods of science to better understand one of the world's major problems -- harm in road traffic. "Highly readable, entertaining, and educational" writes one reviewer; another describes it as even better than the author's 1991 classic Traffic Safety and the Driver, and another as a fascinating book that will become a valuable reference and resource. (see reviews). Traffic Safety goes to the heart of the problem, with unconstrained analyses and bold identification of more effective countermeasures. Traffic Safety covers the broad field of traffic safety in its 16 chapters: 1. Introduction* 2. Data sources 3. Overview of traffic fatalities 4. Vehicle mass and size 5. Environment, roadway, and vehicle 6. Gender, age, and alcohol effects on survival 7. Older drivers 8. Driver performance 9. Driver behavior 10. Alcohol 11. Occupant protection 12. Airbag benefits, airbag costs 13. Measures to improve traffic safety 14. How you can reduce your risk 15. The dramatic failure of US safety policy 16. Vision for a safer tomorrow*
