1. TPI Workshop Moscow: May 25 - 26, 2017
Education in traffic safety – driver training and testing
Jan Vissers

2. GDE-matrix and driving competence
Overview
GDE-matrix and changed view on driving
Competence based assessment in training and testing
Changed role of driving instructors

3. Casualty studies Lack of higher order skills:
Being able to observe relevant information within traffic (situation awareness)
Concentration on potentially dangerous aspects of the traffic environment (risk awareness
Adapt their actions to their level of profieciency (self-evaluation skills, calibration)

4. Changed view on driving
Driving increasingly considered as a domain of competence
A stepping stone: GDE-matrix
Further elaboration needed for training and testing
Future training and testing
Traditional training and testing

5. Cube of driving competence
Safe
Social
Criteria
Flow
Eco
Comfort
Competence
Task level
Empathize
Live-work-travel
Know- understand
Neglected part:
social-emotional competence
Plan - navigate
Decide - act
Participate
Vehicle handling
Self-regulate

6. Balancing capability and task requirements
Lucky escape
Performance capability (C)
Task requirements (T)
Others compensating
Loss of control
Collision
Performance capability (C)
Task requirements (T)
In control

7. Why overall assessment?
Scoring faults not consistent with more holistic approach of GDE-matrix
Scoring faults is looking for accidental wrong driving behavior
Scoring faults might fit well with testing of basic technical skills, but nor suitable for testing higher order skills
Test should also look for positive evidence
All important competences should be assessed

8. Competence based assessment
Assessment evidence should be documented in a systematic way (not only negative points, but firstly focus on positive points)
No single failure faults any more
Assessment of examiner is made more transparent
Reliability of driving test will be improved
Better communication with test candidates and driving coaches will be achieved

9. Aligment of assessments in training and testing
Formative assessment in training should be aligned with summative assessment during the driving test
Learner driver completes self-assessments
Self-assessment will be explicitly compared with assessment of driving coach and examiner
Formative assessments and self-assessments documented in driver portfolio

10. Increasing complexity, decreasing support
Increasing complexity of driving tasks
Calm surroundings
Complex tasks
Very complex and demanding tasks
Simple tasks
Decreasing support by instructor
Increasing task complexity for
learner driver
