In the next 20 years, due to the ageing of the population, the world will change fundamentally. In 2001 the OECD identified important issues regarding safe mobility of the elderly. The demographic changes influence mobility needs, travel behaviour and traffic safety. Governmental management practises, land use and transport and traffic facilities will have to meet quite different requirements. It will be sensible to work in that direction. Because of the extent of the changes it is urgent that action be taken now. For the covering abstract see ITRD E137489.
