The Test2Drive system in driver assessments: relationships between theory, law and practice
Abstrakt
Purpose
In Poland, traffic psychology is the most thoroughly regulated area of assessment. The Vehicle Drivers Act of 5 January 2011 and the Regulation of the Minister of Health of 8 July 2014 list the variables that must be assessed and the requirements imposed on diagnostic procedures. The Test2Drive system has been developed to provide an integrated tool that meets these guidelines. The system contains 10 tests in the area of cognitive processes, personality and psychomotor fitness. A database of nearly 100,000 recorded assessments is a valuable resource for improving diagnostic tools and conducting research, such as the cited studies exploring the relationship between age and visual attention processes. Analyses based on the database of driver assessments support the verification of hypotheses and research conducted in many areas of applied psychology (human reliability and human error) and academic psychology (psychology of individual differences, changes in fitness with age).
Research hypothesis
Scientific projects carried out based on the collected materials support the hypothesis that practical applications are not only an inspiration for new research problems, but can also test the correctness of theoretical models. Unsuccessful implementation or the absence of anticipated effects in an experiment can prompt scientists to falsify their research hypotheses.
Conclusions
An effective policy for managing the rights to assessment results and consents promotes access to data sets whose volume significantly exceeds the number of samples that could be obtained in individual studies. As a result, practice becomes not only an inspiration or a recipient of scientific research, but also a full-fledged laboratory.
