This book, the first full-length text on the subject, explores the everyday use of music listening while driving a car. It presents the relationship between cars and music in an effort to understand how music behaviour in the car can either enhance driver safety or place the driver at increased risk of accidents. A great deal of work has been done to investigate and reduce driver distraction and inattention but this book is the first to focus on in-cabin aural backgrounds of music as a contributing factor to human error and traffic violation.--Provided by publisher.

DRIVING WITH MUSIC:
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL IMPLICATIONS

From listening to music and singing in the car (car-aoke) to the sound tracks that accompany movie car chases and computer car games, music is essential to human beings engagement with the automobile. Warren Brodsky tells the history of cars-&-music, explains the different functions performed by music-listening in everyday life, and discusses drivers perceptions of the effects of music in the autosphere on them, their passengers and (particularly in the case of boom cars) the public at large. Informed by the critical review of a wealth of research, and reports of recent studies by the author intended to develop the use of music as a strategy for safe driving, Driving with Music not only provides a highly readable and enjoyable account of a fascinating phenomenon, familiar to us all, but also demonstrates the potential impacts, positive as well as negative, of drivers in-car musical behaviours.

Jane Ginsborg, Royal Northern College of Music, UK

This timely and unique volume brings an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything to do with music and cars to bear on the critical issue of road safety. Music in cars may have benefits, but too often can also cause accidents. Informed by a masterful review of existing studies, Warren Brodsky and his collaborators have developed and trialled music specifically designed to enhance driver safety. In doing so, a much needed gap between research and effective practice has begun to be filled.

John Sloboda, Keele University, UK

In this book, Brodskys deep passion for music, respect for car culture and forensic scientific analyses emerge in a symphony of high quality writing. This book will be of interest to readers wanting to understand how the accompaniment of music fundamentally shapes the driving experience.

Todays society confronts major land transport problems. Human and financial costs of road vehicle crashes and rail incidents are increasing, with road vehicle crashes predicted to become the third largest cause of death and injury globally by 2020. Several social trends pose threats to safety, including increasing vehicle ownership and traffic congestion, advancing technological complexity at the human-vehicle interface, population ageing in the developed world, and ever greater numbers of younger vehicle drivers in the developing world.

Ashgates Human Factors in Road and Rail Transport series makes a timely contribution to these issues by focusing on human and organisational aspects of road and rail safety. The series responds to increasing demands for safe, efficient, economical and environmentally-friendly land-based transport. It does this by reporting on state-of-the-art science that may be applied to reduce vehicle collisions and improve vehicle usability as well as enhancing driver wellbeing and satisfaction. It achieves this by disseminating new theoretical and empirical research generated by specialists in the behavioural and allied disciplines, including traffic and transportation psychology, human factors and ergonomics.

The series addresses such topics as driver behaviour and training, in-vehicle technology, driver health and driver assessment. Specially commissioned works from internationally recognised experts provide authoritative accounts of leading approaches to real-world problems in this important field.

Preface

A long time ago, in fact what now actually seems to have been as if in a previous lifetime, I trained as a music therapist at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia (USA). I was registered (RMT) with the National Association for Music Therapy, certified (CMT) by the American Association for Music Therapy, board certified (MT-BC) by the Certification Board for Music Therapy, and registered (
