Ensaio: homenagem ao professor Reinier Rozestraten

Abstract

This is a posthumous tribute to Professor Reinier Rozestraten. The text presents succinctly the academic route by the appointed professor, and in particular his passage through Traffic Psychology. Parallel it talks about his main work in the area, which somehow introduces the psychological discourse about the traffic behavior in national perspective, with his concern for printing a scientific character to the theme and introducing it in the context of academia and society at theoretical and practical perspectives. The chosen work is considered a milestone for the establishment of the theoretical discipline of traffic psychology in Brazil. The tribute was originally written in occasion of the fifth death aniversary of Professor Reinier Rozestraten.
