PROJECT TITLE :
Effect of intelligent speed adaptation technology on older drivers’ driving performance
ABSTRACT:
Excess rushing on roads with an occasional-speed limit may be a key error in drivers of all ages although the explanations for speeding can be significantly totally different. Drivers aged over sixty are generally more cautious, and take fewer risks than younger aged drivers. This study investigates whether Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) technology can assist older drivers in maintaining vehicle speed. The technology can be utilized in three ways: advisory (AISA), differential (DISA) and mandatory (MISA). Twenty-six drivers aged over 60 years recent participated along with a comparison cluster of 16 experienced younger drivers aged underneath sixty. All drivers completed four driving tasks in a very driving simulator with and while not ISA. Results show improvements in speed and lane-keeping performance vary relying on the kind of ISA and driver age and coaching in effective use of ISA is required for drivers of all ages. The study is one component of a wider analysis programme exploring how ITS might probably help older folks overcome some of the difficulties they expertise with driving as they age and hopefully help them stay safe drivers for longer, a benefit each to the individual and society.
