The project, "Analyzing the effectiveness of laws on distracted and inattentive driving to reduce traffic injuries," was one of nine research projects announced by Public Health Law Research(link is external), a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation(link is external), on December 19, 2013.
Starting with the Haddon Matrix-the "Map" of Traffic Safety, this course takes students through the many aspects of traffic safety, including issues specific to California. Topics include where to find traffic safety data and how to use it; the various components of data (numbers, exposure, risk); aspects of traffic safety analysis (human factors, naturalistic driving studies, vehicle factors, occupant protection and risk compensation).
