VALIDATION OF TRAFFIC PSYCHOLOGY TEST PROCEDURES ACCORDING TO DRIVING SAMPLES: FIRST ANALYSIS OF THE STUDY

This paper presents preliminary results of a study to determine the relationship between traffic psychology test procedures and real driving behaviour. A common evaluation scheme was developed to correlate results from investigations in Germany and Austria and a factor analysis was carried out. The primary factor was characterised as "driving skill" as it indicates good results in all test procedures. Results so far showed that the test procedures were immediately related to driving skill and its prediction. For the covering abstract see ITRD E113725.
