Driving performance in mild dementia
The automobile driving performance of 18 mildly demented subjects was compared to that of 18 normal elderly and 18 mid-age controls. Driving tasks were grouped according to a three-level hierarchical model that characterizes driving as a problem solving skill involving (a) low-level vehicle control …

Falls risk and driving performance in older adults
… an important role in real-world tasks such as driving. Safe driving relies on the ability to allocate attention and perform multiple tasks concurrently. Declines in executive function and dual-task performance have been related to falls in older adults, and recent research suggests that older …

The Impact of Sleepiness and Sleep Constructs on Driving Performance
<p>Sleepiness causes performance decrements that lead to thousands of crashes and fatalities annually. Research supports the conclusions that sleep duration and circadian rhythms impact sleepiness and affect driving performance. Conflicting in the literature is whether severity of sleep disorders, …

Auditory-Based Supplemental Information Processing Demand Effects on Driving Performance
… groups performed auditory cognitive tasks while driving an instrumented vehicle. The tasks were of two types. The first type of task was the selection of a driving route from a list presented as a recorded sound. These tasks represented the use of In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). The second …

Exploring the Effects of Language on Angry Drivers' Situation Awareness, Driving Performance, and Subjective Perception
… to the rumination effect and in the context of driving, anger negatively impacts situation awareness, driving performance, and road safety. In-vehicle agents are capable of mitigating the effects of anger and subsequent effects on driving behavior. Language is another important aspect that …

An exploratory study of neuropsychological impairment, driving performance, and sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnoea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
… associated with cognitive impairment. Impaired performance on tasks measuring reaction time, concentration, learning, memory, and driving ability have been observed. These deficits result in a higher risk of accidental injury for people who are diagnosed with such disorders. In patients with …

Effects of display type, age, and gender on driving performance and simulator-induced sickness in a medium-fidelity driving simulator
… before and after exposure to a medium-fidelity driving simulator. Participants in four age and gender categories (older and younger males and females) operated the simulator with a consumer-grade head-mounted display (HMD), and then with a large screen, direct-view plasma display. This study set …

Analysis of Aggressive Driving Using a Driving Simulator
As aggressive driving mainly caused speed-related crashes, aggressive driving must be prevented to improve road safety by identifying aggressive drivers and understand their characteristics and external factors associated with their behaviours. Thus, it is important to investigate relationships …
