“…12 Elderly drivers are at a higher risk of traffic accidents when they are faced with unanticipated situations, time-related pressure and when multiple and simultaneous driving maneuvers are required. 21 These events relate to the fact that elderly persons require more time to implement dual cognitive-motor tasks and dual motor tasks, especially when the latter relates to coordinated and distinct functions of the upper limbs. 22 Adaptations to mitigate difficulties of attention such as focusing on driving and avoiding distractions, as mentioned by the participants, should be adopted by elderly drivers.…”

Objective: To present the results of an orientation program for elderly drivers which emphasized practices of self-care. The secondary objective was to describe the personal difficulties and environmental challenges identified by participants when driving a vehicle. Method: An intervention study of elderly drivers was performed. It included individual interviews, an orientation program and a focus group session. Results: A total of 13 elderly persons, aged between 62 and 82, participated in the study. Seven (54%) reported difficulties in driving, of whom five (71.4%) mentioned difficulties in interacting with the environment; three (42.9%) described emotional difficulties and three (42.9%) cited physical, sensory and/or cognitive difficulties. In the focus group session, the elderly persons reflected on factors addressed during the program that interfered with the act of driving, reporting that they had increased their self-care practices to cope with these. A majority of the participants identified the influence of attention deficits and the adverse effect of emotional issues when driving a vehicle. In terms of conditions relating to the social and physical environment, the elderly persons criticized the uncontrolled growth of traffic, mentioned their concerns about other drivers and pointed out deficiencies in the mechanisms of education, traffic control and punishment of traffic violations. They also discussed potential changes to encourage the mobility of pedestrians, a condition also experienced by the drivers. Conclusion: The elderly persons elucidated the importance of orientation in self-care practices, highlighting the importance of a dialogue between professionals and the elderly to discuss a wide range of practices related to factors that affect vehicle driving in order to maintain safety when driving for as long as possible.

“…Differences in simulated driving performance between young and older adults have been widely documented, where impairments in the elderly are usually observed (Bélanger, Gagnon, & Stinchcombe, 2015;Campagne, Pebayle, & Muzet, 2004;Lee, Cameron, & Lee, 2003;Stinchcombe, Gagnon, Zhang, Montembeault, & Bedard, 2011;Urwyler et al, 2015). Other studies have focused on the relationship between simulated driving performance in the elderly and cognitive processes such as visual attention (Cuenen et al, 2015;Hoffman, McDowd, Atchley, & Dubinsky, 2005), divided attention, mental workload (Cantin, Lavallière, Simoneau, & Teasdale, 2009), processing speed, visuospatial performance, executive functioning (Shanmugaratnam, Kass, & Arruda, 2010) suggesting either deficits in these abilities or the existence of a possible underlying compensatory effect (Andrews & Westerman, 2012).…”

Numerous daily tasks, including car driving, require fine visuospatial tuning. One such visuospatial ability, speed discrimination, declines with aging but its neural underpinnings remain unknown. In this study, we use fMRI to explore the effect of aging during a high speed discrimination task, along with a complete neuropsychological assessment and a simulated driving evaluation in order to examine how they interact with each other. Beyond confirming that high speed discrimination performance is dimished in the elderly, we found that this deficit might be partly due to a lack of modulation in the activity and connectivity of the default mode network (DMN) in this age group, as well as an over-recruitment of frontal, basal ganglia and cerebellar regions, possibly as a compensatory mecanism. This neural pattern could also be translated to our participants' cognitive and driving simulator performance, such that in young adults, a proper DMN modulation correlated with better neuropsychological scores and a driving profile, an effect that seems to be lost in the elderly. These findings contribute to highlight the role of the default mode network on visuospatial tasks, how it is age-related and its impact on cognitive functioning and driving performance in a simulator.

The article looks at certain aspects of using automated information systems in the professional training of drivers at Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy, Ukraine. The importance of integrating the theoretical and practical components of learning and the linkage between learning outcomes and safety on the roads are emphasized. The modern educational-training equipment for training drivers (simulators) includes information program components that can be customized to suit students’ individual characteristics and priorities for consideration in real road-traffic conditions. Assessment of students' knowledge and skills with simulators is carried out by analyzing their errors on typical routes that simulate problematic traffic situations. The main types of errors correspond to the common causes of road-traffic accidents, in relation to which statistics according to regions and periods are available, which, while training, gives a possibility to quickly respond to changes in the structure of accidents in the recent years in view of their causes. The automated information system is configured by a teacher in the way of correction of penalty points for every type of error. Upon reaching the critical amount of such points, the student is directed to retake the course, which makes it possible to provide the proper level of mastering the material before starting classes in the conditions of a real road situation. In future, increasing the share of the training time on the stimulator, it will be possible to take into account the students’ individual features of assimilating the material. This can be realized by introducing increased coefficients for repetitive errors into the penalty function. For this purpose a linear model of the total penalty score is proposed in the paper, which takes into account the specific and general errors, moreover, in the latter the base price of the error is related to the share of accidents with severe consequences. The multiplier of the individual weight of the error allows increasing its value in case this type of mistake occurred earlier and the student did not heed it.
