Every five seconds there is a vehicle crash in the United States. Wouldn’t you like to know if your drivers are at a greater risk of being involved in an accident? The Driver Performance Analysis System (DPAS) is a tool that can help. DPAS is a two-phase driver performance measurement and analysis program which, when completed, is a valid and reliable measure of a driver’s traffic related knowledge and skills.
The DPAS system evaluates a driver’s capability in four critical dimensions:
- Traffic Knowledge
- Perceptual Skills
- Traffic Risk and
- Traffic Procedures
The system produces results in terms of:
- Score (relative to the universe)
- Likelihood of being involved in a crash
- Probability that training will improve abilities in each of the four areas.
This interactive, web-based tool can help:
- Identify high-risk drivers
- Improve driver abilities
- Reduce crashes
- Enhance hiring decisions
- Minimize claims
- Reduce liability
- Instill professionalism
- Reward low-risk drivers
- Enhance profitability
