IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF THE «DRIVER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE» CRITERION ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY

In road traffic safety assessment systems, significant attention is paid to evaluating driver characteris-tics and capabilities. This is due to the fact that, within such systems, the driver represents a fluctuat-ing system whose behavioral patterns are not always predictable. This is primarily due to both behav-ioral personality formation in society and the driver’s psychological type. While the first criterion has complex behavioral patterns, the second one can be identified. This article presents an interdiscipli-nary meta-analysis of psychophysiological studies aimed to identify correlations between different psychological types and driving styles, as well as creating link between psychological profiles and the probability of road traffic accidents for traffic safety assessment.
