Abstract
The objective of this article is to present the results of research designed to build a system of support for the psychological assessment of police drivers, including drivers of police emergency vehicles, as required by Polish law. Part of the research and development efforts, the project analyses the world’s most recent research (commercial and non-commercial projects) which is not subject to confidentiality rules. The analysis shows that the project will help to build a functional support system. Based on modern IT technologies and part of the Police’s PDTN network, the system will support the psychological assessment of police drivers, including drivers of police emergency vehicles. The system was implemented in IT network technology and can, as a result, operate directly with the Police Data Transmission Network (central server, access from any PDTN workstation) ensuring independence and security of data collection and storage.
Highlights
Every country strives to ensure that the police is professionally prepared to deliver their tasks
Road traffic is a complex system of actions and behaviours in a specific situation in space shaped by the man-vehicle-road relation
Driving performance consists of three aspects: physical efficiency; psychological efficiency; knowledge, skills and attitudes of the driver [1]
Summary
Every country strives to ensure that the police is professionally prepared to deliver their tasks This is achieved through the provision of knowledge and skills and advanced technologies to support police officers with their work. One of the most significant areas of safety which requires special training is road traffic Because it is such a key issue, many countries have dedicated traffic police services. Theoretical models of human behaviour in a complex operator environment are designed to describe all factors, including those which activate human error. These may be psychophysical properties, social adjustment, driver attitudes, social discipline, emotional control and skills for coping with a complex task such as driving a motor vehicle. Psychological tests of drivers are designed to reduce the risk of a driver behaving dangerously and as a consequence causing an accident [2,3]
