The rapid acceleration in the trend towards an aged society which has confronted Japan recently presupposes that a different qualitative society will eventuate to that of other developed nations.

Research conducted during fiscal year 1983 analyzes the features of social activities of aged persons which depend on driving, as well as actual traffic accidents caused by them, and is an attempt to forecast what traffic in society will mean in this forthcoming aged society.
