Training reevaluation a must September 1st 2009 According to a new report,
technical innovations
designed to improve
transport and logistics safety
have in some cases led to
falling standards and an
increase in accident
numbers.
Report author, RRC
Training, says increased
automation in modern
vehicles strips driver
engagement down to the
bare minimum, rendering
them mere autopilots – and
that can lead to costly
concentration lapses.
Experts contributing to
RRC's report believe driver
training must be reevaluated
so drivers know
how to use all the
technology on the vehicle
and so are more engaged
with the job. More articles from RRC Training: |
