Drive Test Station BraunAbility
- Description
A measuring tool for analysing a person’s physical driving ability.
Why a DTS?
The DTS is not a simulator but a measuring tool for conducting qualified tests of a person’s physical driving ability. It is used for testing basic functions such as steering, acceleration and braking in order to ensure the driver is able to drive a vehicle safely.
Using the test report generated by the DTS, subsequent analysis can be based on objective facts. It will be easier to make an accurate evaluation of the type of adaptation and car model which will be suitable, and the person being tested can feel reassured that the results have been reached objectively. The report also provides support in the event of tough decisions which might otherwise be hard to justify without an objective basis. Even if some of the measured values are low, this does not necessarily mean that the person being tested is unfit to drive a car.
The challenge with vehicle adaptation lies in finding a way of enabling a person to drive despite their physical limitations. The DTS comes with several smart solutions, all of them designed to create a driver environment tailored to each driver’s needs and wishes.
It is important to bear in mind that the DTS does not provide any information as to whether the person being tested has the mental qualities required of a driver. Even if the physical requirements are met, we always recommend the driver practise driving with an expert driving instructor to ensure they are suitable to drive.
Points are selected depending on the driver’s physical condition.
Implement the tests when conditions are right for the person to perform to their best. Remember that factors like meals, sleep and medicines can affect the test result both negatively and positively. Study the driver while the test is in progress to obtain more information than just the values presented in the report. Note, for instance, the driver’s movement in their arms and legs, as well as their ability to coordinate movements and take onboard instructions.
The overall test result will give a clear picture of what adaptation and car model will be suitable.
The person trained by Autoadapt on a DTS can carry out tests to assess a driver’s physical adaptation requirement. If the assessment includes a driver’s physical ability, knowledge in the field of therapy is also required.
Bear in mind that the DTS can never act as a substitute for a test in a real driving situation. Always make sure the driver will manage to drive a proper vehicle in a safe manner.
A source of knowledge and understanding.
After the tests have been completed, a test report containing all the results is generated. This report is saved in two different formats.
As a PDF, which presents the report in a visually straightforward way and is suitable for printing on paper. The printed report is a valuable basis for analysis and assessment when adapting a vehicle for an individual. The alternative format, CSV, is suitable for importing information to different types of databases. This format is essential if your intention is to collect, manage and sort values.
