Verkehrspsychologie

Verkehrspsychologie, or traffic psychology, is the study of how human behavior affects driving and road safety. It examines mental processes, emotions, and social factors that influence drivers' decision-making, perception, attention, and reactions. The goal is to understand and improve safe driving habits, reduce accidents, and develop training or interventions to address issues like distraction, fatigue, or aggressive behavior. By analyzing psychological factors behind driving actions, Verkehrspsychologie helps create a safer and more efficient transportation system for all road users.
