E ! 4392TRAining Capabilities for Efficient CAR Driving

The project aims to develop pan-European methods and tools for effective drivers training solutions. Through an association of SME?s with complementary competence provide a step change opportunity in line with recent research on how traffic competence sh ould be taught. THE PROJECT and EUROPEAN NEEDS The project aim at taking a PROVEN CONCEPT combining INNOVATIVE RECORDING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR and with the latest knowledge in the area of TRAFFIC TRAINING PEDAGOGIC to develop a total IT based train ing concept for Driving Instructors cars. This concept that has the potential of creating a quantum leap in training efficiency as well as meeting some of the new demands in current and coming European directives within the traffic training area. This is especially the so called Large Car Directive ( 2003/59/CE) that commences September 2008 and the expected directive and recommendations from the European GDE Matric workshops for class B training.

Making it easier to UNDERSTAND complex issues, increases COMPETENCE and result in IMPROVED BEHAVIOUR and more conscious driving. Providing tools that enhances this process will effect on the safety of the individuals and have a major effect for society. The initial tests prove that by combining the ?right recording functionality? with the latest knowledge of the way youths learn, understand and act in, will create QUANTUM leap in training efficiency. With thi s project we want to speed up the development of a cost effective innovative tools for drivers training. This through an association of Norwegian, French and Romanian SME?s. Companies with complementary competences and skills. These SME?s will be support ed by 2 academicals institutions in the field of research in transportation area.
