Abstract :
This paper describes one aspect of ongoing research at Newcastle which has been researching the decline in performance of some drivers with age and exploring whether Intelligent Transport Systems and services could have a role to play in supporting older drivers to continue driving safer for longer. The findings presented here are focused on one such service, Intelligent Speed Control Technology - which addresses one of the most commonly reported problems by older drivers themselves, speeding on urban roads.
