One of Volvo Cars' important safety targets is to design new technology that helps the growing number of elderly drivers to continue to drive safely. Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor at Volvo Cars, has worked in a joint research project at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) in order to see if there is a difference in older drivers' visual search behaviour at crossings. Driving tests and a Useful Field Of View test (UFOV) were performed and neck flexibility was measured on 2 groups of subject with different ages. Volvo Cars will use the findings as a base for refining the development of new preventive safety and support systems.
