Description

Includes reports and conference papers authored by Barbara Sabey - consisting of original typewritten documents, reprints and some copies of the published version.

Biography or history

Barbara Sabey led the safety work at the Transport and Road Research Laboratory (TRRL), subsequently TRL. She had a large variety of interests and passions, but two areas for which she was particularly renowned were research on road friction and in-depth accident studies (she was responsible for two pioneer investigations). She was also very influential in establishing the first set of UK targets on casualty reduction. Her work and that of her colleagues at TRL continues to be cited.


Sabey's reports and papers, e.g. conference proceedings, from 1960s-1980s are valuable because they pre-date electronic formats such as pdf and are generally only available in paper format.

Provenance

Donated to the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds in 2014. The Institute passed the papers to Leeds Special Collections.
