英国的人口迅速老龄化，人们非常依赖开车来满足他们的出行需求。随着年龄的增长，人的驾驶能力也会下降。因此，对于老年人来说，持续的流动性和私家车的使用是非常重要的。因此，本文报道了老年驾驶员的导航方法和他们对车载导航系统的自我评价。这篇论文报告了六个老年司机焦点小组的调查结果；三组使用车载导航系统，三组不使用。焦点小组发现，车载导航系统的使用为老年驾驶员提供了车内同伴，增加了上路的信心，增加了驾驶乐趣。在规划长途旅行时，年长的司机会使用在线规划工具，让他们熟悉传统的道路地图导航方法。一些目前没有使用驾驶辅助设备的与会者建议使用可能不安全的导航技术，表明在导航方面明显需要帮助。最后，车载导航系统在被认为对老年驾驶员有益之前，还有一些重要的障碍需要克服。
The United Kingdom (UK) has a rapidly aging population that is very dependent on driving to meet their mobility needs. There are functional declines that occur with aging that affect one’s ability to drive. Therefore, the importance of continued mobility and access to a private car for older adults is significant. Thus, this paper reports on older drivers’ navigation methods and their self-assessment of in-vehicle navigation systems. The paper reports on the findings of six focus groups with older drivers; three groups with those who use in-vehicle navigation systems and three groups with those who do not. The focus groups found that the use of in-vehicle navigation systems provide older drivers with a companion in the car, increased confidence on the roads and an element of pleasure in driving. When planning long distance trips, older drivers will use online planning tools that provide a familiarity with their traditional method of navigation the road atlas. Some participants who currently use no driving aids suggested the use of potentially unsafe navigation techniques, indicating a clear need for assistance in navigation. Finally, there are some significant barriers for in-vehicle navigation systems to overcome before they can be considered beneficial for older drivers.
