Older road users have high fatal crash rates that cost the Australian economy $500 million each year. However, driving cessation is associated with depression and reduced social participation among older adults. The present study will benefit older road users and the wider community by identifying which traffic hazards pose the greatest difficulty for older drivers and providing information that may lead to adaptation of roads, and vehicles to reduce crash risk among older Australians. This will reduce injury and healthcare costs and allow older Australians to maintain higher levels of social participation.

老年道路使用者的致命车祸率很高，每年给澳大利亚经济造成5亿美元的损失。然而，在老年人中，停止驾驶与抑郁和社会参与减少有关。目前的研究将使老年道路使用者和更广泛的社区受益，通过确定哪些交通危险对老年司机构成最大的困难，并提供可能导致道路和车辆适应的信息，以减少澳大利亚老年人的碰撞风险。这将减少伤害和医疗保健费用，并使澳大利亚老年人保持较高的社会参与水平。
