Despite the high prevalence of dementia in older drivers, a substantial gap remains in the evidence regarding the natural progression of the disease and its impact on fitness to drive. This project will use a combination of real-time, in-vehicle driver monitoring devices and a state-of-the-art driving simulator. Together, these will objectively measure natural driving patterns and self-regulation practices, and provide a comprehensive assessment of driving performance for drivers with mild dementia and a comparison group without dementia. The project will create a partnership between leading researchers, clinicians and policy makers in order to provide an answer to a complex problem.

尽管老年驾驶员中痴呆症的患病率很高，但关于疾病的自然进展及其对驾驶健康的影响的证据仍然存在很大的差距。该项目将结合使用实时车载驾驶员监控设备和最先进的驾驶模拟器。总之，这些将客观地衡量自然驾驶模式和自我调节实践，并为轻度痴呆症驾驶员和无痴呆症的对照组提供驾驶性能的全面评估。该项目将在领先的研究人员、临床医生和政策制定者之间建立伙伴关系，以便为一个复杂的问题提供答案。
