Classifying complex road features in the context of car driver education

Abstract

Learning to drive a car is not easy. Therefore, in many countries, driving schools offer an education of how to drive a car. This is taught on a theoretical and practical level. Once a driving student has learned how to handle a car in real traffic, he / she will take a driving test exam. In Germany, for example, an authorized driving examiner telling the students to follow their instructions conducts the practical exam. Thereby the driving examiner guides the student to different situation (for example taking a highway, crossing a complicated intersection, backward parking etc.). The examiner selects the route according to the criteria set out in the test guidelines and incorporates the road and traffic conditions in his choice. The driver test guidelines include basic driving tasks (parking, danger braking, etc.), a route within closed villages, a route outside built-up areas and / or motorway sections and afterwards a feedback on student performance. The test is set for a period of 45 minutes (for driving class B). Currently mobile devices, which are able to record a number of parameters (location, speed etc.) are rarely used in these driving examinations. Additionally, the route the driving instructor follows can be somewhat arbitrary. Utilizing routing systems in these driving examinations may assist the driving examiner and may help to make the examination more transparent.

The Community Satisfaction of Transportation Facility Service: A Case of Bengkong Area, Batam

“…Problems in road performance must continually be reviewed because they can damage the road itself and interfere with driver comfort (Kulkarni & Shinde, 2017). Therefore, it is better for vehicles that are allowed to pass on the highway to have certification according to standard provisions set by the government (Krisp & Keler, 2019). The road that is made must also be adequate according to the volume of vehicles in the area.…”
