The ALERTDRIVER/TAA
SELF STUDY PROGRAM HAS
7 INTERACTIVE, EASY STEPS |
|
| |
|
| Drivers start with a confidential
on-line assessment of their beliefs, attitudes
and behaviors relevant to driving. This highly
successful program component has been used
by a North Carolina District Traffic Court
for over 2 years. The driver logs in with
a secure password and completes a short on-line
survey before instruction begins. |

|
| This highly
successful program component has been used by
a North Carolina District Traffic Court for over
2 years. The driver logs in with a secure password
and completes a short on-line survey before instruction
begins. The survey items are from the scientific
literature on driving. These survey responses
are the basis for feedback to the driver about
important changes that take place over the course
of instruction. |
|
| Your organization may have other items that
are more specific to your drivers’ problems,
such as fatigue, back pain, shift work or neurological
disorders. The AlertDriver program can modify
the initial on-line survey to meet your needs. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Drivers are exposed to a popular on-line interactive
video about driver inattention, demonstrating “the
2 second rule.” The video is supported by bumper
stickers and company posters after the course is
over. |

Drivers take The Attention Assessment
(TAA). TAA is an exclusive computerized assessment
ONLY available
as a part of the program. TAA measures 16 dimensions
of a driver’s scanning and decision making
abilities.
Because TAA gives precise, normative scores (drivers
are compared to others in their age group), each
driver must be administered the test at a central
office location. We can train an on-site administrator
in less than 30 minutes. It takes only about half
an hour to get a complete profile on each driver.
More important, each driver receives detailed feedback
on his/her scanning and decision making skills that
can be put into practice immediately on the road.
(All scores are confidential.) |
|
| |
|
|
| Each driver receives a copy of “Disciplined
Attention, How to Improve Your Visual Attention
When you Drive”, by Dr. Ken Mills.
The short, easy to read book presents the
latest scientific evidence on visual attention
and offers practical tips from professional
drivers on how to remain visually alert on
the road. Each participant receives their
own copy of the hardcover book. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| After reading Disciplined
Attention, the driver makes an appointment
to be retested on TAA at a convenient time.
Testing only takes about ½ hour, and
each driver receives a personal tracking
record on how can improve. TAA gives printed
color feedback charts. The drivers’ receive
a detailed PROFILE of how |
|
 |
|
| well they scan in 4 directions,
how well they scan the periphery, and how well
they make
rapid decisions. Drivers also find out how they
rate among other drivers in their age group.
(Drivers can log on anytime to improve their
skills.) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Each driver then logs on and takes a follow-up
survey of attitudes toward attention on the road.
Each driver receives both individual and normative
feedback on the changes that improve safety on the
highway. Optionally, the driver may take an exam
on the Disciplined Attention textbook. |
|
| |
|
|
| Each successful driver receives an AlertDriver
Certificate of Completion, a bumper sticker of his/her
choice, and most importantly, a TAA golf hat. Your
organization receives an Award for Participation
and posters for the workplace. |
