Driving Simulation: How Low Can You Go?
Older and cognitively impaired drivers perform worse in driving simulators as cognitive function declines (e.g. Rizzo et al, 2001). How realistic must driving simulations be to discriminate different categories of impaired drivers? Highend, high-fidelity, immersive simulators are expensive and unsuited for general use, whereas standardized neuropsychological (i.e. paper and pencil) tests have h...
متن کاملReducing Alcohol-Impaired Driving
375 Alcohol-impaired driving is a major public health problem in the United States. Traffic crashes involving alcohol killed more than 16,000 people in 1997 alone (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] 1998b) and injure a million more each year (Blincoe 1996).

متن کاملPreventing impaired driving.
Although moderate drinking does not necessarily increase a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to the level at which driving is legally prohibited in the United States, any drinking can impair driving tasks. In addition to laws establishing lower legal BAC limits for drivers, legislative approaches for reducing alcohol-impaired driving include imposing sanctions for drinking and driving ...
متن کاملDrug-Impaired Driving
Every year more than a million people in the world are killed in traffic crashes and many millions more are injured. Beside the heavy and tragic burden on those directly affected, there is an enormous economic impact, costing countries between 1 and 4% of their gross national product. Driving is a very complex task, requiring the cooperation of several different cognitive and psychomotor functi...
متن کاملCannabis effects on driving skills.
BACKGROUND Cannabis is the most prevalent illicit drug identified in impaired drivers. The effects of cannabis on driving continue to be debated, making prosecution and legislation difficult. Historically, delays in sample collection, evaluating the inactive Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) metabolite 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC, and polydrug use have complicated epidemiologic evaluations of driver imp...
