Document Summary

The aging process affects the visual, auditory, and information-processing abilities of all which in turn affect driving: literature fo(cid:272)uses o(cid:374) the (cid:374)egati(cid:448)e (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ges i(cid:374) dri(cid:448)i(cid:374)g perfor(cid:373)a(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:862)(cid:449)hat he driver (cid:272)a(cid:374) do.

(cid:863) Adaptive changes concern conscious and unconscious decisions made by older drivers in relation to driving and in response to conscious and unconscious awareness of declining functions and changing mobility needs. These types of decisions take place before the drive even begins. Is the most amendable to individual conscious choice and thus can be considered knowledge-based behaviour. Concerns speed choice, headway choice, and gap selection choices determined by the rules of the road and experience in traffic. The rules allow a certain range of operation within which older drivers have some choice. Can be defined as skills based (for example highly automated after much practice) and second-to-second behaviour. Drivers are unconscious of details this behaviour.
