Monograph

This issue contains 13 papers concerned with human performance, user information and simulation in transportation. Specific topics discussed include the following: cell phone use; texting; effect of external distractions on behavior and vehicle control; driver inattention; overtaking of bicycles on rural roads; dynamic maximum speed limits; variable message sign-based route guidance; processing spoken words while driving; developing simulator scenarios for assessing novice drivers; low-cost data recorder to investigate adult and teen driver differences; driver performance at high speeds; and driver response to flooded road signing.
