Abstract:In the U.S., there are about 38 million licensed drivers over
age 65; about 1/8 of our population. By 2024, this figure
will DOUBLE to 25%. The current research is intended to
address the driving capabilities of our older population,
as accident and injury risk has been statistically shown to
increase with advanced age. Our primary objective was to
perform a preliminary Pilot Study (N=10) that allows our
team to analyze the impact of supplementing traditional
driver evaluation using state-of-the-art driving simulation
technologies.
