Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why We Have Automobile Accidents America is a country so rich in human and material resources, so bountifully supplied with reserves of raw materials and surpluses of goods, that we have been inclined to be wasteful and extravagant. Except in a few fields, we have not been accustomed to practice thrift and conservation on a national scale. An outstanding example of this characteristic is our indifference toward the waste of life and property from automobile accidents. Considering the ever increasing magnitude of these losses and their enhanced importance now in terms of loss of man-hours in production and of manpower in our fighting services, we might expect to find a growing appreciation of the need for solving the accident problem. But on the contrary there is a tendency today to relegate highway safety to the limbo of non-essential activities. The reason, seldom openly expressed, which underlies this attitude is: "Transportation of men and materials by motor vehicles has always involved dangers and losses. In war time we must be prepared to pay the price, however high it may be." Those who have taken this attitude apparently have failed to realize that automobile accidents result primarily from human inefficiencies which, when they are removed, tend to speed up transportation, and that safer transportation would inevitably result in the more efficient functioning of our military machine as well as of our industrial organization. Another indication of our indifference toward the automobile casualty problem is the scarcity of organized information on the subject. Outside of a few specialized technical books, mostly on the engineering and enforcement phases of safety, some elementary instruction manuals, an assortment of undigested statistics, and a considerable amount of twaddle, there is a glaring deficiency of literature on either the theory or the practice of accident control. We have hardly begun the task of building up a science of automobile accident prevention. Although the amount of available accredited knowledge about highway accidents is paltry, it should nevertheless be pointed out that certain phases of the problem at least have been of concern to a variety of different groups.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traffic Accidents and Congestion No real and lasting progress can be made in any field until its problems have been analyzed far below the surface. Far too often the surface indica tions are mistaken for the problem. This has been true in regard to street and highway traffic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway and Other Accidents: With Relation to Injury and Disease of the Nervous System, a Book for Court Use, With Fifteen Plates, Two Superimposed Charts and Thirty-Six Illustrations It would be a difficult matter to estimate the amount of damages paid annually throughout the world by rail roads to claimants who present themselves with real or assumed injuries. Sums of thirty to forty thousand dol lars have been many times awarded by sympathetic juries, and one serious accident will often wreck a corporation. The trolley or street lines fare worse than the steam roads, for the reason that on the former it is impossible to safe guard passengers who often persist in getting off the car before it stops or in the wrong way, and because, to a cer tain degree, it is obliged to pick up or set down passen gers at places, most convenient for the latter. A steam road, on the contrary, stops only at fixed stations, its cars are enclosed, its lines are fenced off, and it has the right of way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Driving: Factors of Traffic Enforcement For the past several years we have studied a number of phases of highway safety which have been published in various magazines, scientific journals and other publications. A large number of requests have been made for the papers and it has been suggested that they be brought together into a volume of reasonable size which would be available for anyone having an interest in these specific investigations. Most of the papers are based on experimental studies and the conclusions drawn. We have tried not to include items which are of dubious nature or which are based mostly on opinion. We are indebted to the Ohio State University Psychological Laboratory for the start in this field and to the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University for the opportunity to pursue these studies through the years. In many cases the results were obtained by collaboration with different persons and in such instances credit will be given. The various studies have been aided by grants from the American Optometric Association, the Allstate Insurance Company, the American Automobile Association, the U. S. Army, the Allied Mutual Insurance Company, the National Research Council, Thomas J. Lipton, Inc., and the Outdoor Advertising Association. The director of the various studies has been responsible for their development into final shape. The titles have been arranged as nearly as possible in a logical order. Credit is due Dr. Virtus W. Suhr for most of the material in Chapter X on rest pauses. Numerous graduate students have worked on phases of other studies as is indicated in the references at the end of each chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sub Turri, 1950 At Boston College, no less Rome, the silver trumpets which heralded the opening of the Holy Year of been heard and heeded. Thrilling to the inspiring thoughts and eloquent words of their chief shepherd and priest, His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, the men of Boston College have turned with increased devotion to the altars of their fathers. They have pleaded with the King of Kings to'grant them and all other men of good will that peace of soul which is the fruit of spiritual revitalization. Their thoughts and prayers, shar ing in the universal petitions of the Holy Father, have been directed towards personal sanctification. At the holy sacrifice of the Mass, they have repeated in their hearts the Jubilee appeal of the Holy F ather: God of all consolation, profound is our misery, grave our faults, numberless'our need, but greater than all is our faith in Thee. Aware of our unworthiness We filially place our lot in Thy hands, Euniting 5t poor prayers to the intercession and merits of the most glorious Virgin Mary and all the Saints. Amen!

Download or read book Highways and Highway Transportation Classic Reprint written by George Richard Chatburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Highway Transportation The following pages on Highways and Highway Trans portation do not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject, but rather a glimpse of the vast development ofthe humble road and its office as an agency for transportation. Possibly the grandeur of the mountains is best appreciated by one who lives among them, who climbs their acclivitous heights, who daily experiences their power and majesty, and measures their magnitude by grim muscular exertion. But, even so, it would be foolish to contend that he who gets his information from the seat of a Pullman car receives no benefit from the hasty glimpse, or, that his imagination is not quickened and cultured by the experience. In writ ing this book, then, I have had constantly in mind the myriads of people who have not the time, and possibly not the facilities, to search the pages of the literature of the past for the origin and development, or to work out their present importance, of our amplification of roads and of road uses. It is felt that many of these people laudably desire a conversational knowledge of the origin, evolution and present status of highway transportation, even though it be glimpsed by a'very rapid passage through a very large subject. The primary objects have therefore been, to sketch briefly and simply the development of the transportation systems of the United States, to indicate their importance and mutual relations, to present some practical methods used in the operation of highway transport and to make occa sional suggestions for the betterment of the road as a usable machine for the benefit and pleasure of mankind.
