Fifth Edition of 'Forensic Aspects of Driver Perception and Response' Reveals New Insights

Exponent's David Krauss, Ph.D., has authored the fifth edition of Forensic Aspects of Driver Perception and Response, offering invaluable new information about human factors in the driving environment. 

The book is divided into four sections highlighting:

With over 30 contributors including forensic human factors professionals, traffic engineers, motorcycle experts, and accident reconstructionists, this essential text contains the most current information available on driver perception and driver behavior. Updated from the fourth edition, all chapters have been revisited to provide in-depth coverage in areas such as light reflecting surfaces, visibility enhancing materials, driver age, gender and experience, fatigue, perception-response time, speed perception, vehicle lighting and marking, glare, roadway design and the driver, railroad grade crossings, roadway signage, weather, driver distraction, and in-vehicle technologies, including fully automated vehicles. Additionally, new chapters have been added to specifically address trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles and other forms of micromobility.
