ACCIDENTS OF ELDERLY DRIVERS AND INTERSECTION CONTROL DEVICES

The research reported in this paper examined the relationship between accidents of elderly drivers and intersection traffic control devices. The analysis was performed using the induced exposure method, where the exposure to an accident is defined as the probability of being the driver not cited for the accident occurrence. The results indicate that the accident involvement of elderly drivers is higher than that of the other drivers under certain circumstances. To reduce these rates modifications in the licensing procedures and training programs are suggested.
