The foundation and first results of "Traffic Psychology International" of the DGVP

In 2009 the boards of the DGVP (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Verkehrspsychologie - German Society for Traffic Psychology) and the VdTUEV (Verband der Technischen Ueberwachungsvereine - Association of Technical Inspection Agencies) decided to form a task force for international affairs called "Traffic Psychology International" (TPI). The TPI group intends to represent continuously the DGVP at scientific and political events on an international level and beyond these occasions to contact organizations such as CIECA, EFPA or ETSC. The TPI group aims at participating in European research projects in order to find common perspectives and strategies concerning traffic-psychological issues and to define standards as one prerequisite for implementing psychological measures. By all means, ultimately the group needs to receive recognition as a European expert group on psychological issues of traffic safety. In 2010/11 the Traffic Psychology group started working and has to date indulged already in many activities. Two activities of the TPI group, the European project "Phaeton" and the questionaire on the status of traffic psychology in the EU, are described in more detail.
