Abstract

A simple descriptive model of the driver in traffic is presented. It is suggested that man's inherited limitations and lack of appropriate experience result in systematic errors in information acquisition and processing. Two inserted constructs (1) a perceptual filter, and (2) cognitive filter are used to describe road user errors and to generate hypotheses and suggestions of how to meet and overcome some inadequate road user behavior.
