Psychological assessment for the use of 'BiOptics' for the automobility of people with visual impairments
The task and objective of the present work is to design a psychological assessment in the framework of the PRIAMOS project (Project Initiative on Automobility of People with Visual Impairments). For practical and scientific reasons, the project will consist of two phases: In the first phase, a neuropsychological assessment will be developed and conducted. In the second phase, the participants will take part in a training program and get acquainted with the developed optical or technical assistive products. Fitness to drive is understood to mean all the requirements for safe participation in road traffic. The psychological assessment aims to perform standardized test procedures to define the minimum requirements for driving-relevant neuropsychological fitness. In doing so, it must be ensured that candidates to the training program meet these requirements. The presented test battery covers the crucial traffic psychological functional areas such as attentiveness, reaction and motor skills, visual perception, intelligence and personality traits. The planned assessment is of great importance, as it is the only way to draw conclusions about the essential variables relevant to driving aptitude.
