Summary
This paper investigates the impact of age on night-time contrast perception of elderly drivers under conditions of glare, with the aim of informing better future road design standards.
Categories
Aging: The paper discusses the impact of aging on visual system changes, particularly in relation to contrast sensitivity and susceptibility to glare, and how this affects the driving ability of the elderly.
Eye health: The paper explores the changes in the visual system as a result of aging, focusing on the loss of contrast perception and increased susceptibility to glare.
Education and learning: The paper aims to inform better future road design standards by providing insights into the visual challenges faced by elderly drivers.
Well-being: The paper discusses the importance of accommodating the visual needs of the aging population in road design to ensure their safety and well-being.
