How we use the profiles in GOAL

• Transport needs and research gaps with regard to

-Driving

-Public transport, walking, cycling

-Traveller information

7

© GOAL consortium

Driving

• Declination in perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor function affects

driving skills

-Motion perception: assessment of traffic situation

-Peripheral vision: overlooking, merging and changing lanes

-Selective attention: traffic signs and signals

-Reaction times in traffic situation

• Adaptation

-Experience and expectancy

• Traffic safety

-More likely to hurt themselves than to put others at risk

-Critical factor: average KMs travelled each year

• Implications for infrastructure, vehicle & fitness to drive

8

Public transport

• Accessibility

-vehicles

-Busstops

• Availabitlity

-close to home and destinations

-rural areas

-demand responsive

• Implications

-Directives, guidelines, best practice available

- Implication and details > economic justification of measures

Walking & cycling

• Walking & cycling

- Important to stay healthy, mobile, independent and active

-Walking as access mode

-Physical restricts and cognitive declines increase the risk of accidents and

severe injuries (cycling)

-Higher vulnerability

-Friendly environments and infrastructure

• Implications

-Design of infrastructure

-Promotion, encouragement,

training (e-bicycles)

Traveller information

• Cognitive, visual, hearing and other physical impairments

• Insecurity, inexperienced, percieved unsafety

• Elderly-friendly travel information

-Type of information

-Pre-trip / on-trip

-Functionality & user interface design

• Implications

-Little research available

-Technology adoption

-Workload (esp in-vehicle)

Wat betekent dit voor beleid?

• Auto rijden

-Operationeel rijgedrag > verkeersstroom, capaciteit

-Fitness to drive > infrastructuur, rijbewijsbeleid

• Lopen en fietsen

-Ongevalskans > maatschappelijke kosten

• Openbaar vervoer

-Toegankelijkheid > aanbod

-Toegankelijkheid > infrastructuur & materieel

• Reis- en verkeersinformatie

-Cognitief vermogen > dynamisch verkeersmanagement

• Segmentering basis voor beleid

-effectiviteit van maatregelen

-Basis voor kosten-baten analyse 12
