• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the outcomes, to date, of the work undertaken to examine the effects of low level alcohol impairment, especially for older drivers, based on on-road driving studies. Some of the questions the project initially sought answer were: 1. How does alcohol impairment at low (legal) levels influence driver performance and eye movements of drivers in laboratory experiments? 2. How does alcohol impairment at low (legal) levels influence driver performance and eye movements of drivers in on-road experiments? 3. How do the use of devices such as cell phones and navigation devices impact the eye movements of drivers who are operating vehicles, whilst under the legal limits of alcohol impairment?
