The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval to collect information from licensed older drivers to determine (1) their eligibility to participate in a study of the effectiveness of a visual scanning training protocol to improve driving safety, (2) their driving performance during on-road evaluations to measure training effectiveness, and (3) their attitudes about the training procedures. Older drivers are overrepresented in crashes at intersections and when changing lanes compared to drivers of all ages, and the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of visual training techniques for addressing these behaviors and ultimately reducing older drivers’ crash risk. NHTSA will collect information about age, license status and limitations that could affect driving from an estimated 135 older licensed drivers through a one-time, voluntary questionnaire to determine their eligibility to participate in the study. NHTSA will then invite 90 qualified older drivers to participate in the one-time voluntary study. The 90 study participants will complete an informed consent form, undertake a vision screening, participate in four one-hour training sessions or equal time control (placebo) activities, and undergo three one-hour on-road evaluations to measure driving performance. Half of the study participants (45) also will be asked to complete a one-time voluntary questionnaire to collect attitudes and beliefs about the visual scanning training protocol. This collection is solely reporting, and there are no record-keeping costs to the respondents. NHTSA will use the information to produce a technical report that presents the results of the study. The technical report will provide aggregate (summary) statistics and tables as well as the results of statistical analysis of the information, but it will not include any personal information. The technical report will be shared with State Highway Safety Offices and other stakeholders interested in improving the safety of older drivers.
