Abstract

In 2006 it was the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the journal Ergonomics. The journal has a history of publishing research on driving and driver behaviour (for example, 103 papers have been published on this topic in the past 10 years and there was a special issue on Risky Decision Making in Transport Operation in volume 31 (number 4) in 1988, edited by Ivan Brown and Wiel Janssen). Recent papers on driving in Ergonomics have included research into performance effects of feedback, vehicle dynamics, vehicle automation, telematics, seat design, motion sickness, age and performance, and traffic sign design. This range of topics is indicative of the breath of the discipline. In celebration of both of the IAM and Ergonomics 50th anniversaries, a special issue of Ergonomics was commissioned on Driver Safety. The spirit of the special issue was to encourage researchers to submit papers that can help make driving safer, by informing vehicle and road environment design, law enforcement strategies, driver education programmes and road transportation policy.
