Driver safety is an important and often sensitive issue for seniors. Statistics show that the elderly are more likely than other drivers to receive traffic citations for failing to yield, turning improperly, and running red lights and stop signs all indications of decreased driving ability. Currently in Japan, half of the deceased in traffic accidents are elderly people. In present study, we focused on how the pedal placement affect on braking action in emergency. First, ten healthy young and ten elderly individuals were asked to perform a simple reaction experiment by foot. Then, the same subjects were instructed to complete a braking action experiment with different pedal placement condition. The results suggested that both simple reaction time and foot movement time of elderly subjects were significantly longer than that of young subjects. Moreover, the brake pedal force of elderly subjects was lower than that of young subjects. Thus, aging influenced both of simple reaction time and braking action in emergency. In addition, even the pedal placement changed characteristics of braking action of both young and elderly subjects, the most comfortable pedal placement of elderly subjects differed from young subjects.
1 0 0 0 OA 認知症の早期診断と社会対策の最先端研究および国際最新状況に関する海外調査研究
認知症の早期診断を実現するために(1)海外での認知症調査研究(2)認知症診断技術の国際基準の提案,および(3)認知症社会対策の提言を目指して調査研究を実施した共同研究者,海外の認知症関連研究者と連絡を取って,認知症に関する認知実験などの実験結果の収集,検討を行い,特に健康高齢者と認知症患者の間の触覚の認知機能の差が,認知症の早期診断に有効であるという結果を得た.この結果と本研究で構築したネットワークを元に,国際的な大規模実験に向けての準備をすすめることができた.
