1. finding their way onto our roads 1976 ISO IEC 17025 Why a DTS Test a driver s strength flexibility behaviour and reaction time in a safe and calm environment 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 objec tively 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 provi de any information as to whether the person being tested has the mental qualities required of a driver Even if the phy2. 9 Since 2010 Felitec has been using the Driver Test Station to measure drivers y strength and reaction times Thus as a measurement tool the DTS has become an F IT EC integral part of vehicle adaptation Nowadays driving licence inspectors doctors and driving schools in Felitec s region are demanding that this test be conducted Fahrreugbechnik FE aa bewegt as a necessary basis for decision making when assessing a person s driving ability Throughout Germany licensing authorities and parties responsible for adaptation costs are using the test report as a basis for decision making To determine the basic data for strength and reaction times a research project was conducted at the institute of technology in Essen where participants were divided into groups according to driving ability and age Felix Liehr Owner and CEO Felitec Germany 9 9 At Autohuset Vestergaard A S Handicap og Buscenter we rely on DTS to let us service our customers with accurate measurements for car adaptions We offer and sell this service to a large number of local authorities in Denmark authorities that want to make sure their citizens have the appropriate help when concerning servo steering break and reaction while driving The DTS is operated by our occu pational therapist and the test is always followed by a result report We have only ALT WAS eE d VWVESTERGAARDO wen om keretejer had positive reactions and feedbac
