Vehicle driving is an essential task for the independence, mobility, and quality of life of adults. Driving is complex and requires considerable cognitive, physical, and visual resources to maintain safety. Both aging and health conditions may impact the ability to drive safety and confidently.
Naturalistic driving studies that use data-loggers installed in a vehicle to measure real-time kinematic driving data (i.e., vehicle acceleration, speed, location) are a promising approach to assessing driving safety, including control, maneuvering and decision-making.
