DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT OF DRIVER PROBLEMS. VOLUME I. THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN DRIVER PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

A review of the traffic safety literature was conducted to evaluate the potential of assessment techniques for identifying driver problems. The ultimate objective was to provide operational assessors with techniques which may be useful to identify specific driver problems. The state-of-the-art review was organized by levels of observation: Level 1 was defined as assessment variables primarily available from a driver licensing file; Level 2 included data from other agencies (e.g., mental health); and Level 3 contained information which was obtainable directly from the driver. Each of these levels of observation was further divided by conceptual area: Performance; Biographical; Psychological/Social/Attitude; Medical/Physiological; and Exposure.
