The four related papers in this report explore the relationships of driver psychology to traffic flow. One paper describes the speed patterns of 20 drivers who were unobstrusively observed on a single lane road. The drivers were impeded by a 'plant' car which moved at a constant speed on the road. The second paper describes the actions of 166 drivers who were impeded by a plant car on the freeway. The next paper discusses driver motivation, expectancy and anticipation. These psychological states affect the driver's behavior in traffic. Driver expectancy should be considered in highway geometric design. The final paper in the series presents the implications of the previous studies and related researches for traffic flow theory.
