A growing field of research which hopes to one day reduce the workload of the accident claim solicitor is traffic psychology.
Although it borrows from many other fields, including medicine, engineering, and economics, traffic psychology is a relatively new discipline and seeks to address the fact that over 90% of road traffic collisions are caused by human error.
One definition (provided by Rothengatter) is as follows: the study of the behaviour of road users and the psychological processes underlying that behaviour.
It is the broad inclusiveness of the discipline that allows traffic psychology to address so many aspects of driver behaviour, from the social, to the cognitive and the motivational and the attentional.
However, traffic psychology is not a purely theoretical discipline, it also has many practical applications.
For example, in recent years traffic psychologists have worked in conjunction with automotive manufacturers to contribute in meaningful ways to vehicle construction and design.
In fact, many Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have benefited from the knowledge of traffic psychology to provide drivers with user-oriented and safety-enhancing inbuilt driver assistance.
Furthermore, the findings and expertise of traffic psychology have been used to provide rehabilitation and education to drivers who have committed offences such as drink-driving and speeding – in some instances traffic psychology also helps inform authorities about the readiness of offending drivers to return to the roads.
Traffic psychology has also helped accident claim solicitors establish the facts of certain cases and, where appropriate, build cases for or against liability in a compensation claim.
