TY - CONF A1 - Fildes, B. A1 - Charlton, J. T1 - Older drivers and possibilities for injury avoidance N2 - This paper set out to examine the possibilities for injury avoidance implications for older drivers in crashes, based on crash and injury patterns among older drivers and current trends in ageing in most western societies. A number of safety technologies were identified and discussed which have potential for improving vehicle older driver crash avoidance and crashworthiness. While there were some promising estimates available of the likely benefits of this technology for improving safety, it is evident that they need to be confirmed for older drivers, given their age-related disabilities and sensory limitations. Further research is urgently required to ensure that these technologies yield safety benefits without any disbenefits for older drivers.rn KW - Alte Leute KW - Fahrer KW - Fahrzeug KW - Konferenz KW - Sicherheit KW - Technologie KW - Verbesserung KW - Verhütung KW - Verletzung KW - Conference KW - Driver KW - Improvement KW - Injury KW - Old people KW - Prevention KW - Safety KW - Technology KW - Vehicle Y1 - 2005 UR - https://bast.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/437 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:opus-bast-4372 ER -
