With encounters between trucks and cyclists still being a major safety issue and physical as well as technological improvements far from ubiquitous implementation, training truck drivers in anticipatory driving to improve their interaction with cyclists may be a way forward. After a baseline drive in an urban environment, truck drivers inexperienced with urban driving received a dedicated training on anticipatory driving, followed by another drive along the same route several weeks later. The drivers were also interviewed about their opinion about the training. The drivers’ behaviour changed from before to after training, resulting in a better speed management in general, and a more intensive monitoring of the cyclists. There were also some improvements with respect to the placement in relation to the cyclist, but this effect was limited mainly because truck drivers performed well already before the training. The observed results correspond well to the opinions and feelings about the training that were reported by the drivers in the interview. Thus, driver training can possibly be one contributor to an increase in safety in urban areas.

培训对卡车司机与右转骑车人互动的影响

由于卡车和骑自行车的人之间的相遇仍然是一个主要的安全问题，而且物理和技术的改进远未普遍实施，培训卡车司机进行预期驾驶以改善他们与骑自行车的人的互动可能是一个前进的方向。在城市环境中进行基线驾驶后，没有城市驾驶经验的卡车司机接受了专门的预期驾驶培训，几周后又沿着同一路线再次驾驶。司机们也接受了关于他们对培训的看法的采访。司机的行为从训练前到训练后发生了变化，总体上可以更好地管理速度，并对骑自行车的人进行更深入的监控。在与骑自行车者有关的位置方面也有一些改进，但这种效果是有限的，主要是因为卡车司机在培训前已经表现良好。观察到的结果与司机在采访中报告的对培训的意见和感受非常吻合。因此，驾驶员培训可能是提高城市地区安全性的一个因素。
