Abstract
The handheld computer Driver Trainer application is an element of a new training program by the transportation company to improve the safety of new truck drivers. Its aim is to aid trainers objectively evaluate truck drivers in the on-the-road driving portion of the newly planned training centers using the custom handheld device. The application will automate part of the evaluation process by using Telematics data to find driver mistakes, and to simplify the recording process for non-telematics related incidents. This thesis discusses the design of the support system and the interface of the handheld computer application.
