    Procedure to Develop Judgment of the Detection of Traffic
    Teaches people to be able to recognize situations of uncertainty for gap judgment


    This procedure uses the Timing Method of Assessing the Detection of Vehicles (TMAD) in a variety of conditions to provide students with feedback about their judgment as to whether they can hear / see the vehicles far enough to be confident that it is clear to cross whenever they hear/see nothing coming.


    SITE SELECTION:

    The best places to use this procedure are crossings where:

  • there is frequent but intermittent traffic
  • the auditory / visual conditions are steady
    PROCEDURE:

    Step 1: Student determines crossing time
    Step 2: Student judges (assesses) situation Step 3: Student gets feedback about accuracy of judgment / assessment Step 4: Repeat! MASKING SOUNDS:

    Self-Study Guide: what next?


    If you're following the Self-Study Guide, you should have already read the "Timing Method for Assessing Detection of Vehicles (TMAD)" (page 4 of the Self-Study Guide) before you go on.

    Your next step is to return and finish reading "Teaching at Crossings with No Traffic Signal or Stop Sign" (page 2 of the Self-Study Guide)
