Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO Publication year 1988 Abstract Risk-taking behavior by drivers is put within the context of a general model of utility maximization by speed choice. It is shown that so-called "risk homeostasis" is possible only under very restrictive conditions. Under more general conditions, risk compensation can occur; that is, the safety effects expected from engineering measures will be discounted to a considerable degree by shifts in behavior Subject trafficcar drivinghumantraffic accidentAccidents, TrafficAutomobile DrivingBehaviorHumanRisk FactorsStatistics To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:24ea0db5-ad6f-45ca-b751-c836df9d110f TNO identifier 6574 Source Accident Anal. & Prevention, 20 (2), 137-142 Document type article Files To receive the publication files, please send an e-mail request to TNO Library.
