Download or read book Maintaining Safe Mobility in an Aging Society written by David W. Eby and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2030, 20 percent of the world’s drivers, 60 million in all, will be over the age of 65. Consequently, safe and efficient mobility for older adults is a complex and pressing issue. Maintaining Safe Mobility in an Aging Society addresses the complexities surrounding the booming number of aging drivers and practical solutions for sustaining safe transportation for this growing group. This plainspoken resource informs safe mobility discussions on a variety of areas, including: Necessary skills for safe driving and how age affects them Current evidence on how medical conditions and medication hinder driving skills Comprehensive screening description and assessment practices, issues, and tools Sensitive ways to help older drivers transition into driving cessation Impact of advanced vehicle technology on aging drivers Approaches to strengthening safety-conscious licensing policies Draws the Significant Link Between Mobility and Well Being In addition to discussing how age impacts both the risk and severity of accidents and the link between mobility and well-being, this authoritative work discusses means to achieve safer mobility, including roadway design and community transportation options. Authored by driver safety and awareness experts, it covers psychological and physical changes associated with age (both normal and pathological), including an important but rarely explored aspect of dementia known as wandering behavior. It also addresses the role of emerging technology. Maintaining Safe Mobility in an Aging Society is a concise reference that encompasses an impressive breadth of ready-to-access information. Thorough and systematically organized, it is a groundbreaking and indispensable resource for those providing services to seniors as well as those responsible for transportation policy and design.

Download or read book Use of Advanced In vehicle Technology by Young and Older Early Adopters written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many large vehicles such as SUVs have been added to the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet in recent years, and drivers of these vehicles may not appreciate the full extent of blind spots to the rear of their vehicles. Often there is a substantial blind spot to the rear of a smaller vehicle as well. Backing may be especially difficult for some older drivers who develop reduced flexibility and reduced mobility of the head and neck. One in eight Americans is 65 or older now, and this concern will continue to grow as the American population ages. Many new vehicles are equipped with convenience systems designed to make backing easier. These systems include rear-view cameras and sensor-based backing aids. Although these systems were not developed as safety systems, this study explores several of the safety implications of the technologies. The research reported here was conducted as one part of a broader study to learn more about driver experience with several new in-vehicle technologies. The focus of this study is on how both types of backing aides are being used and how well their capability and limitations are understood, with particular emphasis on the experiences of older drivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and especially directionally adaptive headlamps are still relatively new technologies in the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet. Many drivers limit their nighttime driving as they get older. Driving at night may be especially difficult for some older drivers who experience reduced ability to see under low-light levels or are bothered by glare. One in eight Americans is 65 or older now, and this concern will continue to grow as the American population ages. It is possible that new technologies such as HID headlamps can assist older drivers to drive safer with less stress, thus extending their safe driving years. It is also possible that advanced headlamps may cause unintended consequences such as over-reliance on the technology or unsafe levels of glare for other drivers. The research reported here was conducted as one part of a broader study to learn more about driver experience with several new and emerging in-vehicle technologies, with focus on how these technologies are being used and how well their capabilities and limitations are understood, and with particular emphasis on the experience of older drivers.
Download or read book Technology for Adaptive Aging written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-04-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging and currently available technologies offer great promise for helping older adults, even those without serious disabilities, to live healthy, comfortable, and productive lives. What technologies offer the most potential benefit? What challenges must be overcome, what problems must be solved, for this promise to be fulfilled? How can federal agencies like the National Institute on Aging best use their resources to support the translation from laboratory findings to useful, marketable products and services? Technology for Adaptive Aging is the product of a workshop that brought together distinguished experts in aging research and in technology to discuss applications of technology to communication, education and learning, employment, health, living environments, and transportation for older adults. It includes all of the workshop papers and the report of the committee that organized the workshop. The committee report synthesizes and evaluates the points made in the workshop papers and recommends priorities for federal support of translational research in technology for older adults.
Download or read book Access to Safer Vehicle Technologies by Young Drivers written by Robert W. G. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Findings of this report show that in respect of their level of safety, cars that young drivers crash tend to lag the vehicles at risk of crashing by more mature drivers; this persists for a long time after a technology first becomes available. Previous literature and the present survey indicate that the safety level of a young driver's vehicle is not the first priority of the young driver or their parents. The motor vehicle insurance industry in Australia prices risk mainly in line with crash frequency and average claim costs. Vehicle safety systems are often not viewed as positively by the motor vehicle insurance industry as they are by other safety-related organisations, as these systems can lead to high repair costs after a crash. However, technologies that do lead to lower claim frequencies and costs are recognised, and some efforts are made to identify these as early as is possible. Keywords: Young drivers, vehicle choice, motor vehicle insurance, new technology.
