Traffic Safety (book)
Traffic Safety, , is a book authored by Leonard Evans, published in 2004 by the Science Serving Society of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The book uses the methods of science to examine the deaths, injuries, and property damage from traffic crashes. It is more focused on public policy and countermeasures than the author's 1991 book Traffic Safety and the Driver. Results derived from many disciplines, including psychology, sociology, medicine, epidemiology, criminology, biomechanics, economics, physics, and engineering are synthesized into easily understood relationships.
