Abstract
Recently, several human factors experiments have been conducted at Virginia Tech involving both conventional and new instrument panel tasks. These experiments used drivers of all ages, thereby allowing the effects of age to be separated and examined directly. This paper reviews the age-related effects found in the experiments and shows the patterns that exist as a function of age. Recommendations are then made based on the patterns.
