Influence of psychological factors on road safety

The Swedish traffic psychologist Dr Sonja Forward studies factors in traffic that can predict and influence people's behaviour. On Monday, 11 January 2021, she will present as part of the series "International Case Studies in Transportation".

What are the psychological factors that influence our behaviour in traffic? What methods can be used to predict this and are there ways to control it?

Next Monday, the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt and the Bauhaus University Weimar will welcome Dr Sonja Forward from the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut) as part of the lecture series "International Case Studies in Transportation". The Swedish scientist, who is also active as president of the Swedish Pedestrian Association and a board member of the National Road Safety Society, will give a lecture on "Traffic Safety: Road User Behaviour".

Interested parties are cordially invited to attend the virtual, English-language lecture and the subsequent discussion. Access is via this link.
