Abstract
Driving vehicles using distinctive signs requires complex skills. Drivers not only have to adapt to the traffic environment and rescue circumstances, but regular training and continuous monitoring of their perception skills are also essential. According to the regulation on the roadworthiness test of road vehicle drivers, drivers must have the PÁV 1. roadworthiness test issued for five years, which includes an assessment of reaction and decision-making skills. The authors of this article were the first to examine the application possibilities of the BlazePod special development program in the fields of disaster management and emergency healthcare in Hungary and Europe. In the first part of the article series, the authors examine the theoretical knowledge related to the development of responsiveness and the application possibilities of the BlazePod tool. The objectives, content and methodology of the empirical research will also be presented. In the second part of the article series, they will summarize the results of their empirical research.
