Expertise: Driving Assessment
SAM3 Expertise Areas: Driving Assessment
Driving is an important skill that enables older adults to maintain active lives outside the home including work, volunteering, socialization with family and friends that is important to maintain cognitive, physical and emotional well-being.
Driving Assessment
- Older adult driving behaviours
- Assessment of driver attention
- Driving risk
- Applications of Autonomous Vehicles and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
- Driving simulation
- Naturalistic driving
- Health impacts on driving
- Driver identification and signature
