DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the aging of the population there has been a tremendous growth in the number of studies and publications related to the mobility and independence of older adults. This topic is the domain of the TRB Committee on Safe Mobility for Older Adults (ANB60). This committee was given the charge by the Transportation Research Board to organize a conference to bring together scientists from around the world for presentation and ultimately publication of the latest research findings in this area. The last conference/update on these issues occurred in 1999. The conference is organized around four key areas in which changes or breakthroughs have recently been identified with respect to older drivers and sustainable mobility: Changing Demographics: This focus area will highlight changes in the demographics of licensed drivers (especially the exponential increase in older women drivers, as well as where older adults are choosing to live and the design of communities. Changing Health Care Environment: This focus area will highlight issues related to frailty, and emerging research on brain health and fitness. How exercise, cognitive training, and other interventions impact driving and mobility issues will be discussed. Changing and Emerging Caregivers: This focus area will highlight the role of caregivers in meeting the transportation needs of older adults. Topics will include issues related to transportation options, reimbursement for caregivers, and the 2006 lifespan respite bill. Changing Policy: This focus area will highlight Issues regarding the current national and local infrastructure systems, public transit, and incentives and barriers for private solutions. Additionally, debate surrounding driver's licensing for older adults will be a focus. The proposed Emerging Issues in Safe and Sustainable Mobility for Older Persons Conference will serve as an opportunity for scientists to present their latest research, and the resulting special issue of Accident Analysis and Prevention will serve as a dissemination outlet. The overall objective of this conference is to create an opportunity for policy makers, researchers, industry partners, and state agencies to openly discuss current issues and possible solutions surrounding barriers to the safe and sustainable mobility for older adults. The conference is structured such that all participants can attend all plenary, paper, and poster sessions, a key feature that is lacking in many national/international conferences which are more broadly focused. The conference is scheduled from August 30 - Sept. 1 in Washington D.C. at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel with an anticipated number of 250-300 participants. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed conference on Emerging Issues in Safe and Sustainable Mobility for Older Persons is designed to bring scientists, policy makers, industry stakeholders, and representatives from government agencies together to openly discuss issues and potential solutions to barriers with respect to the safe mobility of older adults. The conference is organized around four key themes which all have an impact on the mobility of older adults: changing demographics, changing health care environment, changing and emerging caregivers, and changing policy.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着人口老龄化，与老年人的流动性和独立性相关的研究和出版物的数量急剧增加。本主题属于 TRB 老年人安全出行委员会 (ANB60) 的管辖范围。该委员会受交通研究委员会委托组织一次会议，汇聚世界各地的科学家，介绍并最终发表该领域的最新研究成果。关于这些问题的上一次会议/更新发生在 1999 年。会议围绕四个关键领域组织，最近在这些领域中发现了老年驾驶员和可持续交通方面的变化或突破： 人口统计变化：该重点领域将重点关注持照驾驶员人口统计的变化（特别是老年女性驾驶员的指数级增长，以及老年人选择居住的地方和社区设计。改变医疗保健环境：该重点领域将重点关注与以下方面相关的问题： 虚弱，以及关于大脑健康和健身的新兴研究。将讨论锻炼、认知训练和其他干预措施如何影响驾驶和行动问题。 不断变化和新兴的护理人员：该重点领域将突出护理人员在满足老年人交通需求方面的作用。主题将包括与交通选择、护理人员报销以及 2006 年寿命暂托法案相关的问题。 政策变化：该重点领域将突出当前国家政策的相关问题 当地基础设施系统、公共交通以及私人解决方案的激励和障碍。此外，围绕老年人驾驶执照的争论也将成为焦点。拟议的老年人安全和可持续出行的新问题会议将为科学家提供一个展示其最新研究成果的机会，由此产生的《事故分析与预防》特刊将作为传播渠道。这次会议的总体目标是为政策制定者创造机会， 研究人员、行业合作伙伴和国家机构公开讨论围绕老年人安全和可持续出行障碍的当前问题和可能的解决方案。会议的结构使得所有参与者都可以参加所有全体会议、论文会议和海报会议，这是许多关注更广泛的国家/国际会议所缺乏的一个关键功能。会议定于 8 月 30 日至 9 月 1 日在华盛顿特区文华东方酒店举行， 预计参加人数为 250-300 人。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的老年人安全和可持续出行新问题会议旨在将科学家、政策制定者、行业利益相关者和政府机构代表聚集在一起，公开讨论老年人安全出行障碍的问题和潜在解决方案。会议围绕四个关键主题组织，这些主题都对老年人的流动性产生影响：不断变化的人口结构、不断变化的医疗保健环境、不断变化和新兴的护理人员以及不断变化的政策。
