This 4th International Conference on Traffic & Transport Psychology
(ICTTP) conference is the major gathering for psychologists and other
social scientists to present and discuss the latest research in
traffic
psychology.
ICTTP meets every four years and 2008 marks the first time delegates
will gather in the United States.
Presentations on any of the diverse topics currently investigated in
traffic psychology are welcome. Particular topics that have created
dynamic discussions at past conferences include:
* driver training and licensing
* driver impairment
* effects of fatigue
* characteristics of the aging driver
* perceptual and cognitive disabilities
* road user attitudes and behaviour
* road user needs across the lifespan
* enforcement and behavior change
* driver support systems
* the psychology of mobility and transport mode choice
The particular theme emphasized for ICTTP 2008 is Opportunities and
New
Challenges for Traffic and Transport Psychology. Invited speakers
for
plenary sessions will provide perspectives that are central to this
theme. Proposals from delegates for symposia, oral and poster
presentations that highlight this theme are particularly desirable and
requested.
