Errors in Driver Risk-taking

Résumé du livre

"A viewpoint is presented concerning "accident" causes: essentially, that they are usually accidents, and not the results of willful negligence or other motivated behavior. Accidents result from confusion. A means is presented for measuring average degrees of driver confusion, and comparing these averages across different highway and traffic conditions. Suggested cross-validational procedures are discussed. The argument is set forth that "confusion", as operationally defined by the suggested procedure, will furnish a valuable intermediate criterion to investigators in the accident-prevention field."--Abstract.
