Hazard Warning Device for Drivers with Central Vision Loss

Project Overview

This project aims to explore “how assistance and automated technologies can support the safety and mobility needs of senior drivers with vision loss.” It will explore the impact of age-related central vision loss on driving. We also will be to explore the driving assistance technologies for older drivers with central vision loss to assist with hazard detection and avoidance while driving. In this study, we will invite senior adults who have age-related macular degeneration and age-matched senior drivers with normal sights to our lab at Envision, to help us evaluate different road hazard warnings by participating in a driving experiment in our driving simulator and providing feedback.
