Monograph

This collection of 17 papers evaluates the following aspects of highway safety, school transportation and emergency evacuation: hazard anticipation of novice and experienced drivers; eye movement patterns of novice teen drivers; differences in perceptions of driving skills; older drivers and the driving decision; monitoring displays and speed cameras for speed reduction; intersection safety camera program; highway safety corridors; effectiveness of targeting red light violations; effect of seat belts on cost of injuries; seat belt usage by blacks and Hispanics; dilemma zone protection for trucks at high-speed signalized intersections; traffic safety and safe routes to schools; funding pupil transportation; footprint methodology for road safety; updating a state department of transportation database of crash reduction factors; social risk index to hurricanes in coastal regions; and no-notice evacuation following train wreck and chlorine spill.
