Abstract

Automobiles are the cause of millions of deaths every year. Enforcement, engineering and education have made significant impacts on accident rates, but many countries are now having difficulties further reducing casualties. Despite a possible wealth of knowledge, drivers are largely overlooked as a resource. This paper investigates the use of participatory design as a method to improve road designs, road safety, driver attitudes and driver behaviour.
