It is composed of a combination of performance and personality dimensions that, according to several studies, are best suited to predict safe behaviour among professional drivers, and from a large number of dimensions examined, those that represent the best mix of information gain and test time were selected. The results of the tests are then linked to the everyday tasks of a professional driver in order to show the potential of an applicant for the different areas of responsibility. The SAROAD test set includes the dimensions and tests shown on the left in order to clarify the performance relevant to driving safety.
