Abstract:Following a similar meeting held in 2021, TransAnalytics held a meeting to spotlight research on older adults’ mobility virtually, due to Covid-19 restrictions, on January 9, 2022. The meeting date coincided with the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting. Under NHTSA sponsorship, this meeting – referred to as “ROAM” for Research on Older Adult Mobility– provided a multi-disciplinary forum to share news of completed research, report on the progress of ongoing studies, and highlight priorities for future work. Some 50 meeting participants included physicians and other medical professionals, occupational therapists and certified driver rehabilitation specialists, State Department of Motor Vehicles officials, mobility service providers, public health practitioners, automated vehicle and Advanced Driver Assistance System experts, and other academic and private sector research professionals. ROAM 2022 included a general session and six breakout sessions devoted to the role of the occupational therapist in older driver safety, safety implications of limited-term license renewal policies, advanced vehicle technologies, perceptions of older road users on automated shuttles and shared automated vehicles, and transportation options for rural and small communities. Meeting participants expressed satisfaction that the ROAM meeting agenda was complementary to TRB offerings and appreciation for the virtual format.
