MAINTAINING OLDER DRIVER MOBILITY AND WELL-BEING WITH TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Open publisher page 27 citations

Abstract

With the aging population in the U.S., an expanding proportion of drivers will be facing decreased mobility. As society begins to address the mobility needs of older drivers, the development and testing of traveler information systems for older drivers may provide a means for maintaining mobility (or at least delaying immobility) in the older driving population. However, both human factors and training issues need to be addressed in order to design systems that can be easily used by older drivers.
