Roadmarque research features at BPS conference
On Friday 4 April 2008, Imagitech Director, Gerhard Manogg attended the British Psychological Society’s Annual conference in Dublin to present a poster on research conducted in conjunction with Swansea University’s Gabrielle Jerzembek (department of psychology).
The research was conducted to determine the factors that influence the risk of an occupational driver being involved in a collision.
A total of 443 occupational drivers from four main groups - delivery drivers, HGV, occasional, and sales representatives - from a variety of organisations, took part in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 drivers, transcribed and analysed. The resulting questionnaire was tested with 426 drivers, with the aim of identifying factors that predict accidents and cumulative risk - accidents, points on licence, speeding tickets and other recorded offences.
Details of the research, which has been used in the development of the Roadmarque risk assessment algorithm, can be viewed here: BPS conference poster PDF (File size: 1.3mb)
