This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, traffic crashes claim the lives of 30,000 people every year and is the leading cause of death for 5-24 year olds. Driver error is the leading factor in over 90 percent of motor vehicle crashes, with the roadway and the vehicle each only accounting for about 2 percent of crashes. In the United States, nearly a third of fatal crashes are due to speeding and therefore, a critical step in improving traffic safety is research aimed to reduce speeding, such as crash data analysis, outreach campaigns, targeted enforcement, and understanding speed selection. In this dissertation, a multi-faceted approach was taken to improve roadway safety by examining the speeding-related crash designation, improving speed limit setting practices, and understanding the causes of speeding. Multiple experiments were conducted under this overarching goal. These experiments included an analysis of speeding-related crashes in Massachusetts, a naturalistic driving study, and a driving simulator study which investigated the causes of speeding. Collectively, the findings from these experiments can expand upon existing speed prediction models, improve crash data influence speed limit setting practices, guide speed management programs such as speed enforcement, and be used in public safety outreach campaigns.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation seeks to understand the extent to which community-level or organizational-level factors are related to the level of racial disparity in traffic enforcement in Massachusetts. Prior research has demonstrated that racial disparities exist in the ways traffic laws are enforced in Massachusetts and in many other communities across the United States. Little research, however, has focused on what factors may be associated with these disparities. Two theoretical frameworks suggest potential explanations for the disparities that have been identified: racial-threat theory and police-organizational theory. Racial threat theory suggests that racial characteristics of a community, such as the size of the minority population or the change in the size of the racial population, may be associated with the level of racial disparity in traffic stops practiced by the police in a particular community. From this perspective the perceived level of threat posed by the minority community either due to the overall size of the community or the population growth of that group, would result in increased enforcement directed at minority drivers. From the police organizational theory perspective prior research has shown that characteristics of police agencies can influence the use of discretion by the officers of that agency. This research investigates the extent to which certain police organizational characteristics influence the level of racial disparity in traffic enforcement practiced by officers of that agency. The research finds some support for racial threat theory in the practice of stopping vehicles driven by non-White drivers in Massachusetts but the research finds no support for racial threat theory in the practice of searching non-White drivers. The implications of this model are that in communities with a larger non-White population the police are more likely to stop non-white drivers disproportionately as suggested by some racial threat theorists. In the analysis of police organizational characteristics again the variables in the model were associated with the decision to stop but not the decision to search non-White drivers. Departments with a written community policing plan were less likely to have high disparities in stops. When the two models were combined to account for community level variables and police organizational two indicators are significantly related to the level of disparity in traffic stops the proportion of the community's population that is non-White and the existence of a community policing plan. The implications of this research are that community level and organizational level factors can help to explain the disparity that has been noted nationally in the traffic enforcement practices of police.
