MEASURING BUS DRIVER PERFORMANCE

This article describes a new procedure, developed and validated by the Michigan State University, under contract to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This procedure, called the Driver Performance Measurement (DPM), provides a valid and highly reliable method of measuring dynamic behavior patterns in actual traffic. It involves observation and rating of driver behavior, by specially trained observers, in relation to changing traffic situations in carefully selected and described locations and traffic conditions.
