abstract="The purpose of this two-phased study was to determine the feasibility of training drivers to acquire the skills needed to avoid critical-conflict, motor-vehicle accidents and to develop the procedures and materials necessary for such training. Basic data were derived from in-depth accident investigations and task analyses of driver behavior. A specification was prepared for curriculum development and performance measurement. A prototype bimodal simulator was developed as a training tool for acquisition of key perceptual and decision-making skills, and a concept was defined for behind-the-wheel training on an advanced driving range that included surrogate vehicles to create critical traffic conflicts. <br><br>RESULTS of the study indicate that such training is theoretically feasible and, if implemented on a large scale, could result in a substantial reduction of multivehicle accidents.<p />",
