Abstract: Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technologies are rapidly being developed and available for new vehicles. ADAS technologies have been proposed as a way for older drivers to maintain safe mobility for longer. What technologies are best for older drivers? Researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) have developed a list of several technologies that they consider to be the best for enhancing the safe mobility of older drivers and drivers of all ages. Based on analyses of research articles about older adults and ADAS technology use, UMTRI’s own work on this topic, and expert opinions, the recommendation are based on three criteria issues: • Potential to help overcome declines in abilities that may occur when people age. • Ease of understanding and use. • Potential to prevent crashes. The report describes 12 technologies that are recommended for older drivers along with live links to learn more about these technologies.
