Despite being an accepted construct in traffic and transport psychology, the precise nature of behavioural adaptation, including its causes and consequences, has not yet been established within the road safety community. A comprehensive collection of recent literature, Behavioural Adaptation and Road Safety: Theory, Evidence, and Action explores behavioural adaptation in road users. It examines behavioural adaptation within the context of historical and theoretical perspectives, and puts forth tangible—and practical—solutions that can effectively address adverse behavioural adaptation to road safety interventions before it occurs. Edited by Christina Rudin-Brown and Samantha Jamson, with chapters authored by leading road safety experts in driver psychology and behaviour, the book introduces the concept of behavioural adaptation and details its more relevant issues. It reviews the definition of behavioural adaptation that was put forward by the OECD in 1990 and then puts this definition through its paces, identifying where it may be lacking and how it might be improved. This sets the context for the remaining chapters which take the OECD definition as their starting points. The book discusses the various theories and models of behavioural adaptation and more general theories of driver behaviour developed during the last half century. It provides examples of the "evidence" for behavioural adaptation—instances in which behavioural adaptation arose as a consequence of the introduction of safety countermeasures. The book then focuses on the internal, "human" element and considers countermeasures that might be used to limit the development of behavioural adaptation in various road user groups. The book concludes with practical tools and methodologies to address behavioural adaptation in research and design, and to limit the potential negative effects before they happen. Supplying easy-to-understand, accessible solutions that can be implemented early on in a road safety intervention’s design or conception phase, the chapters represent the most extensive compilation of literature relating to behavioural adaptation and its consequences since the 1990 OECD report. The book brings together earlier theories of behavioural adaptation with more recent theories in the area and combines them with practical advice, methods, and tangible solutions that can minimise the potential negative impact of behavioural adaptation on road user safety and address it before it occurs. It is an essential component of any road safety library, and should be of particular relevance to researchers, practitioners, designers, and policymakers who are interested in maximizing safety while at the same time encouraging innovation and excellence in road transport-related design.

Universal vehicular communication promises many improvements in terms of ac- dent avoidance and mitigation, better utilization of roads and resources such as time and fuel, and new opportunities for infotainment applications. However, before widespread acceptance, vehicular communication must meet challenges comparable to the trouble and disbelief that accompanied the introduction of traf c lights back then. The rst traf c light was installed in 1868 in London to signal railway, but only later, in 1912, was invented the rst red-green electric traf c light. And roughly 50 years after the rst traf c light, in 1920, the rst four-way traf c signal comparable to our today’s traf c lights was introduced. The introduction of traf c signals was necessary after automobiles soon became prevalent once the rst car in history, actually a wooden motorcycle, was constructed in 1885. Soon, the scene became complicated, requiring the introduction of the “right-of-way” philosophy and later on the very rst traf c light. In the same way the traf c light was a necessary mean to regulate the beginning of the automotive life and to protect drivers, passengers, as well as pedestrians and other inhabitants of the road infrastructure, vehicular communication is necessary to accommodate the further growth of traf c volume and to signi cantly reduce the number of accidents.

The only book of its kind, "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" is an unprecedented discussion - a rigorous technical exploration of a neglected yet crucial driver education topic: freeway driving. While most driver education classes and defensive driving books offer a broad overview of safe automobile operation in the highway context, these discussions have traditionally taken a back seat to that of local and secondary traffic environments. Highway driving is however a critical necessity to international commerce, local economic vitality, and every day life in developed societies, calling to need a specialized manual describing invaluable practices to ensure safety and promote a host of optimizations. Driving on the freeway is a potentially lethal task, nevertheless carrying with it certain expenditure costs of time, fuel, environmental, and law enforcement resources. By employing sound optimization techniques, drivers can minimize costs to improve safety, arrive at destinations more quickly, improve fuel-efficiency, decrease legal risks, minimize environmental impact, and increase the overall social utility of the developed world's most prominent means of medium-range transportation: the controlled-access divided highway. "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" develops a precise tactical model for spatial maneuvering on the highway and reviews topics such as spatial awareness technique, lane optimization, speed choice and control, entrance merging procedures, dangerous situation identification and avoidance, defensive and predictive intervehicular maneuvers, and vehicle control - all supported by thorough explanatory theory and research. Professional driving ability on the highway starts and ends with proper tactics, which this book examines in rich detail.
