老年人在人口中的比例正在上升，老年女性驾驶执照持有者的比例也在上升。因此，在车辆设计中需要考虑老年驾驶员的需求和能力。在一些最初的焦点小组之后，进行了广泛的全国邮政调查，以确定与老年驾驶员汽车设计相关的问题的类型和程度，并指导对最合适领域的进一步研究。共收到千余份问卷。研究结果表明，年长的驾驶员比年轻的驾驶员更容易遇到特殊的困难，特别是转向后窗外看以及进出汽车。已查明这些原因并在此报告。这些发现指导了后续的研究项目，研究影响老年司机进出便利性的因素。
The proportion of older people in the population is rising, as is the proportion of older women driving licence holders. The needs and abilities of older drivers therefore need to be considered in vehicle design. Following some initial focus groups an extensive nation-wide postal survey was conducted to ascertain the type and degree of problems associated with automotive design for older drivers and to guide further research into the most appropriate areas. Over a thousand questionnaires were received. Findings indicate that particular difficulties are experienced significantly more often by older drivers than younger drivers, in particular turning to look out of the rear window and getting in and out of the car. Reasons for these were ascertained and are reported here. The findings have guided a subsequent research project into the factors affecting ease of entry and exit by older drivers.
