Perspective of Engineering Psychology on Traffic Safety

In the present paper, two major sources of traffic accident(loss of vehicle control and speeding) were described in terms of driver's information-processing. Also, several guidelines for designing driver-aid systems such as front-to-rear-end collision warning system and in-vehicle navigation system as well as road configuration were considered based on the psychological research findings. For example, careful implementation of pictorial cues(in particular, texture gradient) can be used in designing road to prevent driver from speeding. Similarly, visual or auditory warnings can prepare the drivers for avoiding collision. Other research findings related to information-processing characteristics of drivers(i.e., visual scanning pattern, workload, ability of anticipation, mental rotation, and resource allocation) can also be applied to designing in-vehicle navigation system.
