Abstract:This document is intended to serve as the plan for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration activities to address traffic safety concerns of older people. Given the increasing proportion of older people in the population, NHTSA must work in conjunction with its partners to provide evidence-based countermeasures to reduce risk to older – and all – road users.
The plan is broken down into three time periods. The initial period covers current work and projects scheduled within the next 2 years. The second period covers work scheduled for 3 to 5 years from the initiation of this plan. The final and extended period of this plan covers the outputs occurring beyond 5 years from the initiation of this plan. NHTSA may, based on data, research findings and resources, modify its approach.
NHTSA recognized the need to define “older” in developing and executing a plan to improve the safety of older road users. The plan includes diverse efforts to evaluate ages at which risk increases in terms of injuries and of driver performance decrements associated with increased crash risk.
