Abstract [en]

The proportion of senior citizens (aged 65+) will grow from about 15% in the year 2000 to about 30% in the year 2050. The share of older drivers in the driver population will grow even faster because of increasing licensing rates among the ageing population. Older drivers do not have higher accident risk than others. They do however have higher risk of being injured and killed in accidents because of their with age increasing physical frailty. Generally speaking, safety measures targeted towards older driver are beneficial for all. In the present report measures are described that focus on the drivers, on the traffic environment, on vehicles and on ITS applications.
