ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses individual problems related to the ‘will vs skill’ perspective. It addresses the types of accidents that certain people or groups of people are involved in. Intelligent Driver Support Systems (IDSS) could contribute to mitigating or solving problems that different types of drivers have. Professional drivers, including heavy goods vehicle drivers, bus drivers and taxi drivers, are often confronted with time pressure and high workload. Peer group dependence is the most relevant structural problem in the group of young drivers, and from the perspective of road safety can be defined as a will problem. Many professional drivers are confronted with time pressure and high workloads. Systems intended for novice drivers should also not significantly increase the driver workload, and should focus mainly on solving traffic communication problems. The main problem concerning the implementation of IDSS with the professional driver population is driver acceptance.
