Older driver estimates of driving exposure compared to in-vehicle data in the Candrive II study
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVE: Most studies on older adults' driving practices have relied on self-reported information. With technological advances it is now possible to objectively measure the everyday driving of older adults in their own ...
The effect of a new road safety device with auditory alerts on older drivers
(Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, 2008)
The purpose of this study was to examine a newly designed road safety device as used by older drivers. The Otto Driving Companion (Persen Technologies, Winnipeg, MB) is a portable device that provides drivers with "instant ...
The use of a naturalistic driving route for characterizing older drivers
(Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, 2012)
Although the vast majority of older drivers are safe, there are some older drivers who are at risk of crashes due to health-related changes in functional status. For licensing agencies worldwide it is a challenge to ...
Speed and acceleration patterns of younger and older drivers
(Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, 2006)
Driving and aging is an area that is receiving more research attention. Most studies have been epidemiological or laboratory-based. Few studies have examined in-vehicle performance, and those that
do usually rely on the ...
Use of video technology and GPS as a tool for driver education – a preliminary investigation with older drivers
(Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, 2004)
Driver education programs have traditionally taken two general forms: in-classroom or in-vehicle. This study explores a variation on traditional in-vehicle driver education programs by using video technology instead of a ...
An Evaluation of the Roadwise Review: A Mixed Methods Approach
(Traffic Injury Prevention, 2011)
Objective: The objective of this mixed methods study was to perform an evaluation of the Roadwise Review CD-ROM (RWR), a self-screening tool for older drivers.
Methods: Ninety-six older drivers (67 to 91) used the RWR ...
Modeling age-related neuromuscular changes in humans
(NRC Research Press, 2009-08)
With aging, motoneurons and muscle tissue undergo significant changes, which influence function in terms of strength, mobility, and overall independence. Mathematical modeling provides a practical method of studying the ...
An examination of the concordance between self-reported collisions, driver records, and insurance claims in older drivers
(Journal of Safety Research, 2018-12)
Background Previous studies of older drivers have found that there are discrepancies between their retrospective self-reports of collisions and the official jurisdictional record. Objectives The purpose of this study was ...
Monitoring Mobility in Older Adults Using Global Positioning System (GPS) Watches and Accelerometers: A Feasibility Study
(Human Kinetics, Inc., 2009-10)
This exploratory study examined the feasibility of using Garmin global positioning
system (GPS) watches and ActiGraph accelerometers to monitor walking and other
aspects of community mobility in older adults. After ...
Seasonal and Weather Effects on Older Adults’ Driving Trip Distances
(Canadian Journal on Aging, 2016-06)
The purpose of this study was to determine if season or weather affected the objectively measured trip distances of older drivers (≥ 70 years n=279) at seven Canadian sites. During winter, for all trips taken, trip distance ...
