Abstract

As the older driver population is likely to show a dramatic increase in the next 50 years a proper understanding and awareness of the changes that take place in vision and cognition through aging can be useful in the design of automobile systems for a nature market. How these changes brought about by ageing affect vehicle systems such as controls and displays, mirrors, lighting, seating, and entry and exit are discussed.
