From page 45...
... Instrumented vehicles that continuously monitor driver performance might be employed to provide stronger statistical comparisons, because observed driver errors and other incidents are likely to be far more numerous than reported crashes and traffic violations. Instrumented vehicle studies might also enable researchers to assess the relationships of various personal factors to various kinds of driver mistakes and misbehaviors, such as tendencies to make recognition errors (failure to recognize a crash threat)
From page 46...
... Behavioral safety management in general would be a worthy topic for motor carrier safety management research. BBS has been highly successful in other industries, but has not been widely applied to truck and bus safety, perhaps because of the solitary nature of commercial driving where drivers do not work in groups.
