Abstract
This report summarises the findings of Research Area 2 within the European project MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) and addresses the question "what are the key factors influencing drivers' choice of speed?" It deals with present speeds and speed management methods, speed enforcement, motivation and acceptability of driving speeds, road design and speed behaviour, and cognitive rfication processes and driving speed. Results are based upon literature reviews, survey studies, behavioural studies in a driving simulator, and laboratory experiments.
Literatuurstudies, simulatorexperimenten, laboratoriumexperimenten en enquetes uitgevoerd in het MASTER project geven inzicht in de factoren die de snelheidskeuze van automobilisten bepalen en leiden tot aanbevelingen voor snelheidsbeheersingsstrategieën.
