- 2003

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A great many people are killed or seriously injured in road traffic with young novice drivers every year, which constitutes a major public health problem. Considering the rapid progress being made in developing different road safety measures, new knowledge must be spread more quickly and be put into application. Therefore, VTI and the University of Turku has carried out this literature review about young novice drivers, driver education and training. The review was carried out from January to April 2003. The aims were to review literature concerning:1. Driving behaviour and accident involvement during the first years with a licence, including the underlying psychological and social processes as well as in-vehicle support systems and their implication for young, novice drivers.2. Methods and incentives used to influence young drivers' attitudes and behaviour, with special attention to alcohol, seat belt use and speeding.3. The impact of high school driver education on young novice drivers' safety.4. The impact of different licensing systems on young novice drivers' safety.In all, this review contains 322 different references. As a result of the review, conclusions were drawn about the accident situation for young novice drivers, the different psychological, social and pedagogical processes that contribute to their driving behaviour and how their safety can be approved through driver education and other methods. The literature review has clearly shown that there is much knowledge about driver behaviour, road safety and educational methods that has not yet been applied in the Swedish driver education system. It is thus suggested that an experiment is launched where new methods and structures are tested on a large scale basis. If this is never done, it will be impossible to solve the road safety problems of young drivers.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The goal of this paper is to formulate guidelines and goals for future development in the area of driver training and education. The content of this paper is mainly a result of an EU-funded research project GADGET. A four level descriptive model is presented, in which driver behaviour is conceptualised as a hierarchy, in which the goals and motives of the driver play an essential role. The recent constructivist ideas in mainstream pedagogy and psychology of learning are combined with a hierarchical approach to driver behaviour. A comprehensive framework for Goals and contents of Driver Education (ODE-framework) is presented (Hatakka, Keskinen, Gregersen, Glad and Hernetkoski 2002) and the main points are explained in this paper. Two main conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, motivational aspects should be given more emphasis in driver education than at present. Secondly, in order to improve the quality of training, active learning methods should be more widely applied to driver education as well.
