Abstract

In training and examining professional drivers who serve as commercial drivers for trucks and coaches, studying the effects of training courses on their success rate for professional qualifications is a crucial concern for transport authorities in developing training programs. To this purpose, the statistical methods of Kolmogorov-Smirnov and paired two-sample mean analysis have been utilized to investigate the statistical similarity of success rates for two groups of drivers who receive permission by taking training courses and those who receive it without taking training courses. Data for commercial drivers across twenty-one provinces of the West-Asian country of Iran has been collected for a year and categorized into two groups and twenty-one observations. The results revealed that their distribution functions and the mean success rates are not different for the two groups of drivers. Since the results of success rates are the same, 1) training courses do not have enough efficiency to affect success rates, or 2) exams could not adequately evaluate the skill and knowledge of drivers. Therefore, transport authorities are recommended to redesign training courses and exams for drivers interested in serving as commercial drivers.
