A possible path towards preserving and remediating driving skills while aging is driver training. Previous studies have yielded mixed results with respect to various types of interventions, such as classroom-based training, on-road driving classes and functional abilities training. The present study-incorporated training features found to be…

In this article, the authors report on the construction and evaluation of a game-based driving simulator using a real car as a joystick. The simulator is constructed from off-the-shelf hardware and the simulation runs on open-source software. The feasibility of the simulator as a learning tool has been experimentally evaluated. Results are…

A study examined the effectiveness of a new computer-based multiphasic approach to identifying "at-risk" older drivers and remediating deficits in their driving and traffic safety attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Data collected from 250 older drivers in 3 states were used to develop specifications for computer-based driver improvement modules.…
