Speeding behaviour

Physicist and electrical engineer. Attended Universities of Nebraska and Rochester. Joined Eastman Kodak at Rochester, New York in December 1912. Appointed Director of the Camouflage Research Center in the Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories, serving as a Lieutenant USNR from March 1918 to February 1919. Became Superintendant in Charge of the Physics Department, Eastman Kodak from 1929. Noted for his research into sensitometry (film speed behaviour). This led to the establishment of film speed criterion which has been employed internationally - since 1934 by Eastman Kodak, from 1943 by the American Standards Association and from 1947 by the British Standards Institute.

There are advantages and disadvantages associated with ISA but, as Young and Lenne (2010) point out, the benefits of improved speed behaviour and reduced fuel consumption are encouraging (p. 32). There is, however, little known about any long-term BA effects of ISA whether negative or positive. 

Novelty effects occur. In determining policy effects (ex-post), it is customary to measure a dependent variable before and again after an intervention. An example is measuring speed behaviour before and after a project on speed enforcement or before and after an information campaign. The differences that are measured can then be explained, taking...

While Victoria, in particular, has had considerable success in moderating speed behaviour, it is arguable that there is not yet a lasting climate of deterrence around speeding, let alone a significant shift in the extant culture.

As David Shinar argues, speed is logically related to mobility—go faster and get there sooner—and subjectively related to pleasure Further, there are pervasive social factors that underpin speed behaviour. 

We have devoted an entire chapter to exploring speed behaviour because speed moderation is—until we design and implement a truly safe road and traffic system—the most effective measure that we have in our armoury of traffic safety countermeasures, and it is the least well understood. It seems hard to avoid the conclusion that most governments appear to have reached—that the barriers to achieving system-wide speed moderation are insurmountable. We argue that such a conclusion is wrong because the traditional approach is fundamentally flawed. 

With this more complete understanding of the place of speed in our culture and the interplay between speed behaviour and road and vehicle design, we can quickly see how inadequate our sole current strategy—of continuing to rely on intense enforcement supported by public education—is and why it raises the ire of the motoring public. We must not retreat from intense enforcement, but we must effectively address...
