Traffic intelligence

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Traffic intelligence is a technical term used in traffic sciences , especially traffic education and traffic psychology . It describes the ability to move confidently, with awareness of the dangers, in partnership and safely in the traffic area, to correctly assess one's own abilities, to use traffic safety measures and to prevent possible accident scenarios with foresight.

definition

The traffic didacticist Siegbert A. Warwitz sees the development of traffic intelligence as the highest level of traffic competence that a traffic user can achieve :

“ By traffic intelligence, I understand a practically as well as cognitively based performance potential that enables one to think and act constructively and creatively in traffic. Traffic intelligence enables new, not yet experienced situations to be adequately mastered through independent transfer of experiences or through insights gained through pure thinking. "

With regard to the fitness of motorists to drive, the traffic psychologist Bernd P. Rothenberger said in a lecture at the 38th Congress for Traffic Psychology:

" From a traffic psychological point of view, it seems plausible that the intelligent driving behavior of a good driver is a harmonious combination of the intelligence form of seeing and spatial thinking, spatial and physical intelligence and psychosocial intelligence. [...] Drivers who have become suspicious of traffic have a low level of development spatial and poorly developed personal intelligence. They can no longer cope well enough with the technically established distance between themselves as a road user and their inner nature, as well as between their driving behavior and the external traffic conditions. "

Acquisition

Intelligent behavior can and must be learned. According to Warwitz, traffic intelligence develops as the third learning stage via the stages of traffic awareness and traffic awareness . The learning process is constantly related to action and exchange of experience with real traffic processes and has to prove itself in actual traffic behavior. For the manifestation of traffic intelligence, the acquisition of the three quality characteristics knowledge , ability and attitude is required. This implies that traffic intelligence should not be understood as just a technique or skill , i.e. that people do not become intelligent road users just by knowing what is sensible and considerate. “ Rather, they have to be motivated and willing to behave intelligently. “ To this extent, traffic intelligence is also associated with a moral and ethical code of conduct that makes traffic intelligence a desirable virtue and personality.

meaning

" The general conditions of participation in road traffic and the high risk of participating in traffic require the development of solidarity-based traffic intelligence for all road users in the personal sense and the development of a culture of personal responsibility in the social sense ".

As the highest level of traffic competence, traffic intelligence optimally ensures that you can find your way around the traffic area confidently and confidently and move forward-looking and partner-friendly.
