2 v. : ill.; 23 cm.
Summary
Explores the mobility and safety needs of older persons. The report examines safety needs of the older person in traffic; reviews potential measures to improve highways, vehicles, driver and pedestrian performance, and alternatives to the private automobile; and assesses public policy questions about costs, the tradeoffs between safety and mobility objectives, and the sometimes conflicting needs of individuals, different age groups, and the public generally. The report also identifies areas for future research and includes recommendations for improvements in highway conditions, vehicle design, licensing, testing, education activities, and transportation alternatives. The report was published in two volumes. Volume 1 contains an overview of the issues and the committee's recommendations; Volume 2 contains the technical papers prepared for the study.
