ARE OLDER DRIVERS’ DRIVING PATTERNS DURING AN ON-ROAD DRIVING TASK REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR REAL-WORLD DRIVING?

Survey the effect of texting on driving performances using drivers driving a Simulator

Introduction: There is evidence that driver distraction is one of the major causes of vehicle accidents. One of the key factors that can affect people's driving performance drastically, is texting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of texting on driving functions using a driving simulator. Methods and Materials: This study was conducted on 80 students ranging fro...

Task analysis of autonomous on-road driving

The Real-time Control System (RCS) Methodology has evolved over a number of years as a technique to capture task knowledge and organize it into a framework conducive to implementation in computer control systems. The fundamental premise of this methodology is that the present state of the task activities sets the context that identifies the requirements for all of the support processing. In par...

Glaucoma and Driving: On-Road Driving Characteristics

PURPOSE To comprehensively investigate the types of driving errors and locations that are most problematic for older drivers with glaucoma compared to those without glaucoma using a standardized on-road assessment. METHODS Participants included 75 drivers with glaucoma (mean = 73.2±6.0 years) with mild to moderate field loss (better-eye MD = -1.21 dB; worse-eye MD = -7.75 dB) and 70 age-match...

Predicting Older Adults’ On-Road Driving Performance

Car driving performance in hemianopia: an on-road driving study.

PURPOSE To study driving performance in people with homonymous hemianopia (HH) assessed in the official on-road test of practical fitness to drive by the Dutch driver's licensing authority (CBR). METHODS Data were collected from a cohort (January 2010-July 2012) of all people with HH following the official relicensure trajectory at Royal Dutch Visio and the CBR in the Netherlands. Driving per...
