Human Factors in Traffic Safety for Highway and Traffic Engineers

Human Factors in Traffic Safety for Highway and Traffic Engineers by Alexei Tsyganov is an essential, practical guide for professionals who design, manage, and regulate roadways. Written with clarity and technical precision, this book translates human behavior insights into actionable strategies that improve safety on urban streets, rural highways, and complex interchanges.

Discover evidence-based approaches to understanding road-user perception, decision-making, and error patterns—knowledge that helps traffic engineers, highway designers, planners, and transportation agencies reduce crashes and improve flow. Clear diagrams and real-world case studies illustrate how small design changes, signage, and operational policies influence driver, pedestrian, and cyclist behavior.

Whether you’re focused on corridor upgrades, intersection safety, speed management, or multimodal planning, this volume connects human factors science to everyday engineering choices. Practical checklists and design considerations support safer infrastructure across varied climates and regulatory environments, making the book relevant to professionals in North America, Europe, and beyond.

If you’re responsible for safer roads, this title equips you with tools to diagnose risk, prioritize countermeasures, and communicate technical recommendations to stakeholders. It’s an investment in outcomes—fewer collisions, improved compliance, and better community mobility.
