Funded Activity Summary

Managing older driver safe mobility: An international collaboration. The prevalence of medical conditions and impairments in older adults and their likely implications for crashes is considerable and will be an increasing problem into the future without appropriate intervention. There are serious gaps in knowledge about older drivers real-world driving and we cannot reliably predict those most at-risk. Current procedures for assessing driving lack scientific basis and offer clinicians little guidance about fitness-to-drive. The proposed research offers a comprehensive international collaborative approach to enhance the safe mobility and quality of life of older Australian drivers, through development of evidence-based screening for safe driving, innovative training and other management solutions.
