Abstract:

Older drivers have specific issues that need to be addressed including changes in sensory, motor, and cognitive skills may affect driving ability. Motor impairments include lack of neck and limb mobility, whereas sensory declines primarily involve visual impairments. Cognitive impairments include decreased speed of processing and reaction time well as changes in visual search and visual attention. Alternatives to address these limitations and impairments were investigated as they relate to driver safety. This was accomplished by technology transfer activities and analyses of available screening data, crash statistics and accident reports. Data analysis was conducted using University Transportation Center for Alabama (UTCA) data as well as other sources including a study of 900 older driver from Alabama who completed extensive functional performance batteries Seven licensure alternatives were generate, assessed and linked to Alabama driver attitudes. The recommendation of this study is that a comprehensive screening tool be implemented for older drivers at re-licensure within the state.
