Cannabis use is increasing in older adults, but laboratory studies of the association between cannabis and driving in people aged older than 65 years are lacking. Objective To investigate the association between cannabis, simulated driving, and concurrent blood tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels in older...
Existing efforts to help maintain older adults’ driving capabilities encompass programs focused on driver training, self-assessment tools, and regular health checkups [12,14,15]. However, little is known about the efforts that older drivers exert to cope with their aging-related changes and maintai...
drivingmobility planningdriving cessationPeople are living and driving longer than ever before, with little preparation for transitioning to being non-drivers. We investigated driving expectations among drivers age 65 and older, including sociodemographic and driving context predictors. Cross-sectional data ...
This cohort study evaluates differences in naturalistic driving behavior and safety between older adults with and without major depressive disorder.
Driving simulators may be an effective means of assessing driving performance, however many are cost-prohibitive. The present pilot study examined whether a novel, cost-effective driving simulator (Assetto Corsa (AC)) may be useful in the evaluation of older adults' driving performance, and explore...
Additionally, after each driving condition, participants answered a validated questionnaire on their acceptance of the simulated fully automated experience for each respective driving condition. Age and driving style were found to have a significant effect on older adults’ acceptance of FAVs, with older...
OLDER PEOPLE are the fastest-growing group of drivers on the road, representing a larger percentage of the driving public than ever before and driving more miles per year than previous cohorts of older adults.1 Older drivers have a higher crash rate per mile driven compared with other age grou...
Independent living depends on mobility, and mobility depends on driving, particularly for people 65 years and older. The longer older adults can safely drive, the longer they can independently run errands, shop, exercise, and maintain social networks. Age-related decline of perceptual, motor, and...
Initially, researchers feared that the confluence of the increase in the popu- lation of older drivers and age-related cognitive declines could lead to an increase in traffic-related deaths and injuries. This led to an increase in research on driving per- formance of older adults. Although ...
Thus, this paper first reviews how older adults driving habits change as they age, and secondly it will review the potential of In-Vehicle Navigation Systems (IVNS) in maintaining the mobility of older people. The main part of the paper reports on the findings from six focus groups conducted...
