Abstract

This presentation describes the tasks R1.1 and R1.2 in the EC-project IMMORTAL. Task R1.1 is a literature review of impairment and accident risk associated with ageing, illness and disease. Task R1.2 is labeled "Estimation of risk involvement of several medical disorders in road accidents". Objective The general objective of both tasks is more or less the same, i.e. to assess relative risks associated with certain states or conditions of drivers. More specifically, R1.1 will focus on health-related risk factors, medical conditions, illnesses and diseases, physical or perceptual impairment, i.e. to the extent such conditions have been reported in scientific literature. R1.2 will assess relative risks associated with self-reported medical conditions, health complaints and medicine consumption.
