This report presents the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) research agenda for addressing the issues related to the safety of younger and older drivers. Chapter 1 provides a summary of the issues related to younger and older drivers. Chapters 2 and 3 report on NHTSA's research program on younger and older drivers, respectively. Each of these chapters summarises the status of work done to date; outlines the problems that currently remain; and describes the research actions needed to address those problems. The Agency regards each of the projects or study areas described in the report to be essential for reaching safety objectives for these age groups. However, the scheduling of the work will depend on available funding. (Author/publisher)
