USING DAQ TOOL FOR RESEARCH IN TRAFFIC-PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

Road safety and protection of human life on the road infrastructure is a goal in every developed country. More than 90% of road accidents worldwide are caused by human error. This implies a clear obligation to deal with the human psyche and, above all, committing offences on the road. The traffic-psychological research contained in this article was performed on a sample of almost four hundred respondents; young drivers aged 18 to 26 years. A questionnaire of the driver's attitudes was used for the research, the results of which were subsequently compared with the general data also found in the survey. Globally, it was also possible to compare the results with foreign studies, because the traffic-psychological tool that was used has a precisely defined structure and can be used in any country. The aim of the research was primarily to find statistical similarities between the results of the DAQ tool and the stated number and type of traffic offences of the respondents. The aim is also to compare the own results with other studies that obtained data with the same tool.
