Features

  • Includes comprehensive coverage of transportation systems, including the notably important issue of older drivers, but also additional transportation forms including public transportation via bus and subway, air transport, rail, bicycle, and even pedestrians

  • Offers numerous examples throughout of best practices based on both the scientific literature and the content expertise of the authors

  • Discusses practical implications of incorporating the recommended design principles for both older adults and other transport system users

  • Provides useful background about normal age-related changes in sensory, cognitive, and physical abilities that impact older adults and how they interact with transportation systems
