Final programme report: IMMORTAL
IMMORTAL (Impaired Motorists, Methods of Roadside Testing and Assessment for Licensing) is a special EU research programme dealing with the accident risk associated with different forms of driver impairment. The project aims to investigate the influence of chronic and acute impairment in order to make a more accurate risk assessment, to recommend criteria for high risk categories, and to provide key information to support EU Policy on licensing and roadside testing. The IMMORTAL consortium comprised 10 partners from a range of European institutions with multi-disciplinary expertise. IM MORTAL research essentially contributed to the information about drug driving, with regard to the guidelines for driver assessment, the effects on driving performance of various acute and chronic impairments (e.g. diabetes, depression), and the evaluation of methods to assess the effect of certain diseases on fitness to drive.
