Journal ArticleDOI

Randomised factorial trial of falls prevention among older people living in their own homes

Lesley Margaret Day, +5 more
- 20 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: Group based exercise was the most potent single intervention tested, and the reduction in falls among this group seems to have been associated with improved balance, most applicable to Australian born adults aged 70–84 years living at home who rate their health as good.
Journal ArticleDOI

Driving simulator validation for speed research

Stuart T Godley, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2002 - 
TL;DR: The behavioral validation of an advanced driving simulator for its use in evaluating speeding countermeasures was performed for mean speed, with participants generally drove faster in the instrumented car than the simulator, resulting in absolute validity not being established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crossing roads safely: an experimental study of age differences in gap selection by pedestrians

Jennifer Anne Oxley, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: The over-representation of older pedestrians in serious injury and fatal crashes compared to younger adults may be due, in part, to age-related diminished ability to select gaps in oncoming traffic for safe road-crossing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of Older Drivers who Adopt Self-Regulatory Driving Behaviours

Judith Lynne Charlton, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: There was a strong association between drivers’ avoidance of and confidence in specific driving situations and ratings of relevant functional abilities, and those most likely to adopt avoidance behaviour were female, 75 years and older, and had been involved in a crash in the last 2 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in traffic judgements between young and old adult pedestrians.

Jennifer Anne Oxley, +4 more
- 01 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that age-related perceptual and cognitive deficits may play a substantial role in many of the crashes involving older pedestrians.
