Research Abstract |
The traffic accident by senior drivers has been increasing more recently in Japan. The purpose of this study was to develop the screening tool of fitness to drive. Then, we performed the factual survey to the senior drivers aged 75 and over. As a result, 10 percent of them to whom the cognitive function is falling existed. They don`t want to returned their driver`s license for their life turned inconvenient. Next, we developed test VFIT-EV which screens an older driver's fitness to drive. We got the 20 elderly to take VFIT-EV. As a result, we acquired the good re-test reliability. Next, we compared the result for which VFIT-EV between behind the wheel assessment by certified driving instructor. As a result, we acquired the good validity. Finally, we compared the result for which VFIT-EV between traffic accidents of 13 taxi drivers. However, there was no relationship of a traffic accident between VFIT-EV.
