Exploring technology acceptance of driving aids for older adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness and acceptance of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in enhancing the driving safety of older adults. Using a driving simulator, the research will assess how technologies like lane departure warning, cruise control, and forward proximity warning can reduce critical driving errors among licensed drivers aged 65 and older. Participants will engage in simulated driving scenarios that mimic real-life challenges, with data collected on their driving performance and technology acceptance. The goal is to determine if sustained use of these technologies leads to improved driving outcomes and greater confidence in their safety.
