Abstract:

Driving is a highly dynamic task that requires intact cognitive and visual skills to perform safely. Driving a commercial motor vehicle requires careful planning and consideration. These additional factors are highly dependent on cognitive and visual skills for accuracy. This study aims to identify specific clinical tests that correlate well with commercial driver’s license (CDL) driving performance. This study refined our clinical fitness-to-drive assessment battery and enabled us to create a two-hour protocol. We recruited and tested 31 drivers with commercial driver’s licenses and 25 drivers without a commercial driver‘s license. We developed a two-hour driving fitness assessment battery consisting of tests that have been shown in the literature to be reliable and valid measures of driving-related cognitive and visual skills in drivers, with appropriate scoring systems and recommendation guidelines. On-the-road driving performance was assessed by volunteering annual elog data and a driver’s self-assessment. The goals of the study were to: 1) Collaborate with local and national companies to recruit CDL and non-CDL drivers, 2) Assess the cognitive and visual fitness of CDL and drivers by implementing the battery of tests listed above, 3) Confidentially share the results with each CDL driver , 4) Share potential risk factors that contribute to unsafe driving with the CDL driver and provide resources to improve any recognized deficits, and 5) Invite medical students to join our research team to assist with recruitment and assessments.
