Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to verify the safety and validity of a VR driving simulator developed for evaluating the driving abilities of elderly drivers. This study also aims to establish indicators in VR driving simulator to evaluate high-risk group for driving, such as cognitive and physical abilities. Therefore, this study aims to measure the physical driving function, general physical function and cognitive function of elderly drivers. to identify the correlation between their outcomes and the VR driving simulator's result

Conditions

Automobile Driving

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Feasibility of VR driving simulator

  A questionnaire evaluating symptoms of simulator sickness such as dizziness or nausea and comprehension of contents

  2 hours

• Driving performance in simulator, measured by driving errors

  Driving performance in simulator will be measured by driving errors during VR simluation of driving. These errors will be evaluated based on the criteria used for driving license tests, including violations of traffic laws.

Study Arms (1)

Elderly drivers

OTHER

Individuals over the age of 65 who are currently driving

Device: VR Driving Simulator; Other: Computerized Neurocognitive Function Test; Other: Driver Test Station; Other: Short Physical Performance Battery; Other: On-road field driving Test

Interventions

VR Driving Simulator DEVICE

Evaluation of usual road driving abilities and assessment of response capabilities in accident-prone situations through a VR driving simulator

Elderly drivers

Computerized Neurocognitive Function Test OTHER

Evaluation of cognitive levels including attention and memory (the Trail Making Test, Digit Span Test, Auditory (or Visual) Continuous Performance Test , and Card Sorting)

Elderly drivers

Driver Test Station OTHER

Conducting qualified tests of a person's basic physical driving ability including steering, acceleration and braking, using Driver Test Station(Autoadapt AB, Stenkullen, Sweden)

Elderly drivers

Short Physical Performance Battery OTHER

Evaluation of functional capability and provide a measure of the biological age of an older individual by measuring lower extremity physical performance status(standing balance, walking speed, and chair stand tests).

Elderly drivers

On-road field driving Test OTHER

Researchers and driver's license supervisors ride in the driver's license test vehicle to evaluate the subject's actual driving ability. the validity of the VR simulator by comparing the results of the VR simulator with the actual vehicle driving ability.

Elderly drivers
