Book Transportation

Download or read book Transportation written by Alison MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article explains why safety for elderly drivers and pedestrians is an issue. Information is provided on the changing age structure in Canada and the importance of mobility, followed by a discussion of older people and the problems they face on the road. It addresses the age-related changes individuals often experience that can affect mobility, and includes a discussion of environmental factors that may have an impact on older drivers and pedestrians. It concludes with an overview of some possible countermeasures that could be taken by the elderly individual, urban developers, highway planning departments and others who are concerned about these issues.

Book The Safety of Elderly Drivers

Download or read book The Safety of Elderly Drivers written by J. Peter Rothe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the turn of the century, the elderly will comprise about 20 percent of the population in North America, and 28 percent of those who drive. Place this percentage in high-powered automobiles, and the need for planning and policy development becomes evident. Most standard research on elderly drivers has not gone beyond gathering data on specific situations or characteristics. This book rises beyond simple statistical presentation. It blends sociological insight with statistical detail to produce an absorbing description of the elderly drivers' daily lives, driving styles, experiences with accident and injury, social relationships, and life aspirations. It also describes areas of neglect: imagined and real health problems, driving exposure and traffic violations, accidents, and loss of self-esteem. It presents In-depth accounts of the trauma of loss of license and the Importance of the automobile for sustaining mental, physical, and social well being. The self-Imposed or self-defined rules elderly drivers use to navigate traffic or compensate for physical frailities are described in depth. The Safety of Elderly Drivers Includes penetrating comments from elderly drivers who have been involved in serious accidents, and from random elderly drivers speaking for their generation of drivers. Integrating statistical findings based on Motor Vehicle Department accident data and survey data with comprehensive interviews and discussions with elderly drivers. the book provides an emperically grounded. In-depth view of the elderly driver today. Rothe summarizes theories and models of aging. along with past research on elder[y drivers. projecting what the future may hold If present trends in medicine. housing. politics. migration. and mass transit continue. It closes with a series of recommendations for future traffic planning. This book will be of Interest to policymakers concerned with traffic safety, as well as social scientists and others Interested In gerontological issues.

Book Driver Behavior Analysis of Older Adults at Road Intersections Using Naturalistic Driving Data

Download or read book Driver Behavior Analysis of Older Adults at Road Intersections Using Naturalistic Driving Data written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines driving behavior difference between drivers with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and drivers without Mild Cognitive Impairment (Non-MCI) and looks at the relationship between cognitive abilities of different individuals and their driving behavior. Driving behavior was represented in two domains (physiological domain and vehicular domain). The first goal was to find out driving behavior difference between MCI and Non-MCI group of drivers using both physiological domain measures as well as vehicular domain measures using statistical analysis. The second goal of this study was to look for a relationship between cognitive abilities and driving performance measures. Braking patterns of drivers were analyzed just before the intersection to understand the effect of declined cognitive abilities on the effectiveness of driving. From the experiments performed, there were some significant differences observed between MCI and Non-MCI group of drivers in both physiological domain measures as well as vehicle domain measures.

Book Comparison of Older and Younger Driver Responses to Emergency Driving Events Final Report

Download or read book Comparison of Older and Younger Driver Responses to Emergency Driving Events Final Report written by E. Kloeppel and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the responses of older, middle-aged, and younger drivers during performance of emergency maneuvers in an interactive driving simulator. Thirty-six drivers, equally distributed among three age groups (20-29; 35-44; 65-74) participated in the 32.2-km (20-mi) simulated drive, during which they encountered four emergency events at two levels of difficulty. Data were also collected in two baseline segments where no emergency events occurred. The emergency events were situations where other vehicles performed unexpected maneuvers: pulling out in front of the subject's car from a side street, and turning left in front of the subject's car at an intersection. Information on driver performance variables, including avoidance behavior and emergency avoidance response time, was collected. None of the age groups differed in avoidance response time, speed, deviation from the speed limit, brake pedal force, or avoidance behavior. Age differences were found in lateral placement at intersections. Older drivers drove further to the right of the lane center than younger and middle-aged drivers. It is believed that this finding is a result of a higher level of defensive behavior among older drivers. No other differences in driving behavior were found between groups. In this experiment, subjects were not performing turning maneuvers. Future research should be directed, when possible, toward investigating driver behavior when making turning maneuvers across traffic.

Book Older Road Users Myths and Realities

Download or read book Older Road Users Myths and Realities written by Morris Odell and published by Lawyers & Judges Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, one of the first of its kind, brings you state-of-the-art scientific information on the role of aging in driving behavior and motor vehicle accidents. This book teaches you about older drivers, their driving behaviors and actual risks versus perceived risks. It explores the most common medical conditions that affect driving behavior in older people including neurological, cardiovascular, and other physical conditions; metabolic conditions such as diabetes and hypoglycemia; dementia; psychological issues; visual impairment, and the influence of multiple prescription drugs and alcohol. It teaches you about the epidemiology of accidents involving older drivers including fatalities. You will learn about evaluation of fitness for driving, medical condition management, and driver training, as well as how to help people manage the transition from driving to no longer being allowed to drive. This book is a must for your library if you work with older drivers in any capacity.
