In-car safety technology: literature review and expert opinion
This review of literature and experts forms part of a broader investigation into in-car safety technology and older drivers. Here we review the key literature contributions from academia and position them alongside expert opinions from industry and the third sector. In reviewing in-car safety technology we used 5 overarching research questions to explore attitudes about user centred design (UCD) practices, older people and the automobile industry. These research questions were: RQ 1. What research exists about the usage of existing in-car safety technology and older drivers? RQ 2. To what extent have older drivers’ needs and abilities been considered in the design and development of in-car safety equipment? RQ 3. What are the opinions and attitudes of older people towards these systems? RQ 4. Is in-car safety technology solving safety problems for older people? RQ 5. What gaps exist in the research of in-car safety technology and older people? Our investigation was informed through searching academic, industrial and 3rd sector literature and contacting c30 experts from the automotive industry as well as academics in the field.
