Science, Technology and Road Safety in the Motor Age

该项目审查了20世纪60年代和70年代英国开创的新的道路安全科学和技术方法。它探索了政府道路研究实验室（RRL）和其他地方的实验，涉及无人驾驶汽车、防抱死制动、安全带和反污染工作。涉及两个主要收藏：科学博物馆的物品和文献；以及RRL、交通部和DSIR在国家档案馆的论文。这些将阐明我们对道路安全技术发展的理解，以及在英国对汽车的热爱的转折点上，国家、科学和汽车工业之间的关系。

This project examines new scientific and technical approaches to road safety pioneered in 1960s and 1970s Britain. It explores experiments at the government's Road Research Laboratory (RRL) and elsewhere, into driverless cars, anti-lockbraking, seat belts and anti-pollution work. Two main collections are involved: objects and documentation at the Science Museum; and the papers of the RRL, Ministry of Transport and DSIR at the National Archives. These will illuminate ourunderstanding of the technical development of road safety and the relationship of state, science and the motor industry at a turning point in Britain's love affair with the car.
