Abstract This guideline was produced with the aim of presenting a method to evaluate theperformance of drivers based on two (2) components, namely defensive driving anddistraction assessments. Defensive driving skills are evaluated according to specificelements which include vehicle inspection, pre-driving preparation, and drivingevaluation. On the other hand, distraction assessment involves response and taskevaluationsofthedrivers.Theguidelineissuitableforusebygovernmentagencies,andpublic or commercial transport fleet operators to assess the performance and tocontinuallyimprovethecompetencylevelandservicesoftheirdrivers.Furthermore,theguidelineisimportantforenculturationofsafedrivingandtoenhanceanorganization'scorporateimageaswellasitsservices.

1. Background The road transportation sector has contributed tremendously to thedevelopment ofMalaysia’seconomy.Driversofcommercialvehicleswhichincludepublicserviceaswellas goods vehicles play an important role by ferrying passengers and loads to theirrespectivedestinationseveryday.Apartfromthat,driversofnon-commercialvehicles,whotraveltheroadsdailytoattendtoeitherpersonalorbusinessmatters,alsoplayanimportantroleinthegrowthofthecountry'seconomy.These supposedly competent drivers, who have acquired their driving license bycomplying with Sections 29, 56 and 57 of the Road Transport Act 1987, may havegainedexperiencebydrivingontheroadthroughouttheiryearsofservice.However,itis important that their skills, drivingperformance and road safety awareness arenottaken for granted. These elements must be evaluated periodically and in a timelymannerinordertomaintaintheequilibriumofinteractionontheroadbetweenroadusers,vehiclesandroadenvironment.Evaluation of driver performance provides an essential insight for managers oftransport company to keep tabs on the performance of their drivers. These driverscarryahugeresponsibilityas theyhavetosafeguardthemselves, thepassengersandgoodsuntiltheyreachtheirdestinations. This guidelinewill be able to assist fleetmanagers in evaluatingdrivers’ competencylevel, before allowing them on the road. All motor drivers must be fit to drive andpossessoptimumskillsandperformancestandarddespitetheirageandexperience,asthesafetyofthepublicusingtheserviceisofutmostimportance.Thesedriversshouldhold a driving license authorizing them todrive amotor vehicle of a certain class ordescription. In addition, it is advisable for fleet operators to ensure all their driversmeetthebenchmarkrequirementsofgooddrivingperformance.

2. Purpose of Guideline Themain purpose of the guideline is to provide a systematicmethod to objectivelyassessadriver’sperformancebasedondefensivedrivinganddistractionassessment.The guideline is meant for use by government agencies, public and commercialtransport fleet operators and relevant quarters in gauging the performance of theirdrivers in terms of defensive driving and distraction assessment, and to continuallyimprovecompetencylevelandserviceofthelatter.

3. Conceptual Framework and Methodology The framework of this driver performance evaluation is categorized into two majorcomponents,namely:
(a)defensivedriving;and(b)distractionevaluation.
Figure1illustratestheconceptualframeworkofthedriverperformanceevaluation. Implementation of driving performance evaluation requires a standard driving testtrackwithsignalised,non-signalisedjunctionsandhillslope.TheMIROSinstrumentedcar can be used for both distraction evaluation and defensive driving. Additionally, adefensivedrivingobservationformisusedintheevaluation.Government agencies, land public transport and commercial fleet operators canrequest for the evaluation of driver performance to be performed through formalletter/application or email. The overall process flow of the driver performanceevaluationanddetailsofevaluationprocedureareshowninAppendix1andAppendix2respectively.

3.2.2 Pre-DrivingPreparationAfter ensuring that the vehicle is in good condition, each driverwill be assessed ontheirpre-drivingpreparation,whichcomprisesthefollowing:

The assessor must be seated in the rear seat to observe and assess the driver’sdefensive driving behaviour. Apart from physical observation, recordings via digitalvideorecordershouldbeusedasareferenceforrevalidationpurposes,ifnecessary.

3.3 Distraction Assessment The distraction assessment consists of response and task assessments. Bothassessmentsareconductedsimultaneously.Asfortheresponseassessment,itisbasedon a simple task whereby participants respond to frequent stimuli. The responseassessment measures the reaction time which represents the degree of selectiveattention affected by certain tasks which have been put in place. This assessmentinvolves tactile stimuli thatare triggeredbymeansof small vibratorsattached to theshoulder. The stimuli are triggered at random intervals and uniformly distributed

between three and five seconds. The stimulus stays on for amaximum time of onesecond. If the participant responds within this period, the stimulus is discontinued(MohdFirdausetal.,2014).Participantsmustrespondbypressingamicroswitchattachedtotherightindexfinger.The response ismadebypressing the switch to the steeringwheel. Themicroswitchprovidesmechanical feedback indicating thata responsehasbeenmade. Inaddition,the recallnumber isused for taskassessment. It consistsofauditory stimuli that thedrivers listen to and repeat following specific rules. Participants are presented witheasy levels of cognitiveworkloaddue to the high risk involved. They are required torepeatanumberofrandomlyarrangedauditorystimuli(singledigitszeroto9)astheyarepresented.Theevaluation is conductedonboth straightandcurved roads.Theevaluation routemust be in a controlled environment, with no interference from other vehicles.

Award of Competency Level and its Validity Validityofthedrivingperformanceassessmentdependsonthefleetmanagers.It isimportantforeachdrivertobereassessedtoensurethatthedrivingfitnessisattheoptimum level. As suggested by Eby et al. (1998) in Devon County safe drivingworkshopevaluationreport,cognitiveperformancedeclineswithageandtheabilitytoreacttocertainstimuliwhiledrivingmightalsodecreasewithagingduetodeclinein visual perception and psychomotor skills (Dunn & Hellier, 2011). Therefore, areassessmentisneededandshouldbemadecompulsorypriortodriver’srecruitment.Fleet managers should take ownership of this assessment and observe the factorsinvolvedsuchasimplementationcost.Inaddition,suchanassessmentwillyieldhigherreturnsofinvestmentasdriversareabletogivethebestperformance.

6. Benefits of the Evaluation This assessment should be considered with a continuation plan in order to attain agood return of investment. The assessment should be conducted at an interval timeframe to ensure and monitor the best performance of motor vehicle drivers. Asidefromthat,suchanassessmentcouldalsobeusedasamarketingtooltotheclientsinthecontextofsaferoperations.Keepingdriversattheiruppermostcapabilitytodrivewillresult inreducedcrashandrisk of damage,whichwill in return save the operation cost of the entire fleet. Thiswouldincreasetheconfidencelevelofclientstocontinueusingtheservice.Aftersometime,implementationoftheassessmentwillassistintheenculturationofsafedrivingamong drivers in the fleet. The intervention could be conducted as an annual or bi-annualroadsafetyprogramembeddedaspartoftheiroccupationalsafetyandhealthinitiatives. Interpretation of the evaluation score is the prerogative of the operators;therefore, the score can be used either for staff recruitment, reassignment andpromotionalpurposes.

7. Conclusion This document provides a systematic guidelinewith regard to a scientificmethod ofevaluatingdrivers’performance. It isbasedondefensivedrivingaswellasdistractionevaluations and is applicable to all classes or description of motor vehicle driversincludingpublicservice,privatevehicles,andgoodsvehicles.The guideline will enablemotor vehicle drivers’ driving performance to be assessedeasily and systematically for a more accurate driver profiling. An accurate driverprofilingwould in turn assist fleet owners or operators inmaking good decisions, inorderforfurtheractionstobetakenappropriately.Theseactionsmayincludefurtherimprovingtheskillsorknowledgeofthedrivers,orrefrainthembeingpartoftheroadsysteminordertopreventroadcrashes.Finally, it is hoped that “A Guideline on Driver Performance Evaluation usingMIROSInstrumentedCar”willcontributetothenation’sroadsafetybyreducingroadfatalitiesand injuries, as well as enhance an organization’s image and services. But moreimportantly, this guide will hopefully ensure enculturation of safe driving amongstprivateandcommercialmotorvehicledrivers.
