The interaction between the main components of the road traffic system, the road user, the vehicle and the road, is examined within a psychological frame of reference described in terms of a general model of road user information processing. A summary is presented of a project aimed at developing and empirically testing a method for multi-disciplinary accident investigation. Also, empirical studies of the effect of three types of traffic engineering measures on driver behavior are presented. A type of speed-reducing hump was tested in three residential areas. The effect of so-called 'rumble strips' was tested in connection with the end of a motorway at a roundabout and on both sides of a temporary motorway approach designed as an S-bend. The third type of measure studied consisted of warning devices used in connection with moving road work zones.
