Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program. Training of Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers, Synthesis 5

摘要

This synthesis focuses upon similarities and differences in training strategies and curricula among existing driver training programs, with a goal of identifying those commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver training tools and techniques that hold the greatest potential to improve CMV safety. In particular, the need to ensure adequate knowledge and skills for entry-level drivers guided this research effort. The summary and recommendations that follow reflect an exhaustive review of technical information sources, as well as inputs from the trucking and motorcoach industries derived through survey responses solicited in this project, supplemented by comments to the FMCSA's 1993 Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM).
