Monograph

This collection of 11 papers is concerned with the following aspects of human performance: run-off-the-road crashes involving overcorrection; effect of fog on car-following performance; signalized intersection approach decision dilemma zone; two-way stop-controlled intersections on divided highways; left-turn warnings; auditory road safety alerts; wireless communication and entertainment devices effect on driving; warning messages and variable speed limits; right-turning vehicles and pedestrians approaching from the right side; traveler information delivery mechanisms; and use of pretrip public transport information.
