TASK DESCRIPTIONS

THIS VOLUME IS THE SECOND OF A FOUR-VOLUME REPORT DEALING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF DRIVER EDUCATION OBJECTIVES THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF THE DRIVER'S TASK. IN THIS VOLUME, A METHOD USED TO ANALYZE AND EVALUATE THE CRITICALITY OF DRIVER BEHAVIORS IS DESCRIBED. TO ASSURE COMPREHENSIVE IDENTIFICATION OF DRIVING BEHAVIORS, AN ANALYSIS WAS MADE OF THE TOTAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INCLUDING THE DRIVER, VEHICLE, ROADWAY, TRAFFIC, AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE BEHAVIORS ARISING OUT OF THE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS WERE ORGANIZED INTO GROUPS OR RELATED BEHAVIORS OR "TASK". A GROUP OF 100 TRAFFIC SAFETY EXPERTS, SELECTED FROM AMONG DRIVER EDUCATORS, ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, LICENSE OFFICIALS, AND FLEET SAFETY PERSONNEL, WERE ASKED TO EVALUATE THE CRITICALITY OF THE 1700 IDENTIFIED BEHAVIORS TO THE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THE DRIVING BEHAVIORS, TOGETHER WITH THEIR ASSOCIATED CRITICALITY INDICES AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION WERE ENTERED INTO A SET OF DRIVING TASK DESCRIPTIONS. /AUTHOR/
