This workshop will teach participants how to use the Conduction Performance Evaluation (EDEC), the first Spanish observational assessment of driving in real-world driving conditions. Participants will learn how to apply, score, and interpret the EDEC in a practical way, using real-life driving videos and examples. The workshop will also include the first trial of the EDEC-App, which participants can download for free and learn how to use through videos and practical case studies.

Duration: 1 hour.
