Abstract:

This study compared older drivers’ performance as they completed common backing tasks using traditional rearview mirrors to mirrors and RVSs. The research team used an instrumented study vehicle to collect measures of backing performance from 80 licensed drivers. Half the participants were 60 to 69 years old, and the remainder were 70 and older. Half of each age group were familiar with RVSs, and the others were unfamiliar. The full study had five backing tasks, which included short backing (backing out of a parking space) and a surprise trial that occurred after the participant assumed that data collection was complete. Participants completed the short backing task three times, twice with access to the RVS (once with and once without an obstacle), and once without access to the RVS, without an obstacle. The obstacle was a low-contrast traffic cone placed behind the vehicle. The same obstacle was placed behind the vehicle for the single surprise trial.
