Abstract
Recently, traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers have been increasing. It is thought that the reasons of accidents are functions such as decline of eyesight, cognition and physical strength caused by aging. In order to assist safe driving for elderly drivers, it is necessary to sufficiently understand any possible relationship of various senior drivers’ cognition, physical strength and driving behavior. In this paper relationship of elderly driver’s cognition, physical strength and driving behaviors were analyzed using the result of driving instructions on urban road by driving school instructors.
