Introduction: With a growing population of older drivers questions regarding possible negative implications for road traffic safety are constantly raised. Even though chronological age as such may not be an indicator of safe driving, researching and understanding the factors influencing older drivers both from a safety as well as a mobility perspective are required to meet future demographic changes. Leaving pure medical states aside, when looking at the ever so healthy older population it is evident that with age both physiological as well as cognitive performance is changing. However, with age driver experience increases and attitudes and social attributes may play a different role in life as well as in driving. The objective of this study is to understand scenarios and factors influencing older drivers’ safety and mobility that could have implications on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
