People 65 and older are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population and the fastest growing sector of the driving population. When compared to other age groups, older drivers are overrepresented in intersection crashes (Subramanian & Lombardo, 2007; Braitman, Kirley, Chaudhary, & Ferguson, 2007), and approximately half of the charges in fatal intersection crashes are for failure to obey the traffic control device. Prior research suggests that driving performance tends to diminish with age and can be attributed to factors such as declines in vision, hearing, reaction time, cognitive function, and motor abilities. An in-vehicle system that can aid drivers at greater risk of crashes may considerably reduce the number of fatalities as the driving population ages. This project explored an in-vehicle warning system for failure-to-obey (running a stop sign or stop light) violations. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2011-103916. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
