Abstract

Young novice drivers are over-represented in accidents, mainly due to their young age, lack of road experience and risk-taking. Technological developments in the automotive sector in recent years have led to a number of solutions to make driving safer. In our research, we investigated how road telematics systems can be connected to driver training.
