''The increasing stress involved in motoring nowadays makes the psychological efficiency of the driver a more important factor than the mechanical efficiency of the vehicle he drives'' (Parry, 1968).

Training Programme on Driver Diagnostics at CRRI, New Delhi

I recently attended a course on Driver Diagnostics: Performance, Evaluation and Training program at the Central Road Research Institute, New Delhi. The 'Traffic and Transportation Planning' wing of the Institute that primarily deals with 'Traffic Engineering and Road Safety' conducted this training program. This course primarily dealt with training of the trainers who would use the knowledge provided to further the cause of Road Safety.
Kudos to Dr. S. Gangopadhyay, Director, CRRI, course coordinator Dr. Neelima Chakrabarty together with the entire team, who took great pains to put this programme together and brought new perspective to our knowledge.  More than anything else it was a remarkable experience to connect with so many other professionals who participated in this workshop.
The best part was hands-on experience of putting out knowledge to practice and working on the lab equipments and simulator.
Looking at the growing traffic crashes and human fatalities, everyone in road traffic eco-system will have to become active partners to spread awareness, practice discipline, and value other lives on the road.  Respect for others and our own self, and conscious attempt to avoid dangerous driving, knowingly or unknowingly, can help us retrieve the dismal situation.

P.S.: I am attaching the power point presentation of our group. Anyone interested can have a look with the following link and download it.
