This project consisted of a review of the literature in subject areas related to driving stress, aging, and health. This document contains the following three sections: (1) a comprehensive review of the literature concerning the impact of driving on the health, behaviour, and subjective well-being of drivers; (2) a comprehensive review of the literature on the cognitive and perceptual consequences of aging that is relevant to driving tasks and driving stress; and (3) the identification of personality and lifestyle dimensions which contribute to driver suspectibility to stress. Recommendations for research in each of these subject areas are suggested.
