| Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Training Curricula and Delivery Methods and Their Effectiveness (TRB Synthesis)
|
| The objectives of this research are to identify and to document commercial vehicle driver training curricula and practices. The focus is on both training and training evaluation, resulting in a synthesis of best practices, instructional technologies, evaluation techniques, and trends in commercial driver training that will be useful to truck and bus carriers and driver training organizations.
The scope of the study includes a comprehensive literature review, complemented by a survey of selected truck and bus companies, industry associations, driving schools, vendors, and users of training technologies (e.g., simulators, CBT). The information sought in the literature review and survey permitted the research team to identify and examine: (1) similarities and differences in training strategies among existing driver training programs; (2) similarities and differences in the curricula applied in selected training programs; (3) the extent to which simulator and computer-based technologies can be used to enhance the effectiveness of commercial driver training programs; and (4) techniques to measure commercial operator training effectiveness.
