Abstract:This Traffic Tech briefly summarizes two larger NHTSA reports about studies to explore the relationship between older adult physical fitness, as measured by functional abilities and activity levels, and their driving performance and the amount and circumstances under which people choose to drive (exposure). The researchers assessed physical and cognitive status before and after training, and a certified driver rehabilitation specialist evaluated behind-the-wheel performance using a recognized road test. Treatment effectiveness was gauged in terms of “change scores” for road test performance and for multiple indices of driving exposure. Correlations between measures of physical/functional status and driving performance were weak or very weak.
