This research effort involved investigations of fifteen human abilities, their changes which occur with aging, and their effects upon commercial truck driving performance. One-hundred and seven commercially licensed truck drivers, divided into five age cohort groups, participated in the research study; drivers ranged in age from 31 to 76 years of age. An ability testbed, consisting of laboratory-based assessment devices, was used to measure the following driving related perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor abilities. How well drivers performed on a number of ability tests was predictive of driving performance. However, age, in and of itself, was not predictive of driving performance. Interventions designed to target ability deficiencies common among older commercial vehicle drivers were also developed and evaluated during the course of this effort. The degree to which the interventions enhanced, or otherwise influenced driving performance was examined by contrasting performance with versus without the interventions (i.e., comparing the experimental and control groups). Assignment to each experimental condition was blocked (or grouped) by age. Results indicated that all four interventions led to enhanced performance.

TRB's Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program (CTBSSP) Synthesis 4: Individual Differences and the "High-Risk" Commercial Driver explores individual differences among commercial drivers, particularly as these differences relate to the "high-risk" commercial driver. The synthesis identifies factors relating to commercial vehicle crash risk and assesses ways that the high-risk driver can be targeted by various safety programs and practices, at both fleet- and industry-wide levels.

Driving is a highly dynamic task that requires intact cognitive and visual skills to perform safely. Driving trucks loaded with hazardous materials requires even more careful planning and consideration to avoid unanticipated shifts in the center of gravity associated with sharp turns while speeding (slushing) or liquid surge associated with sharp braking. Such planning and consideration are highly dependent on cognitive and visual skills for accuracy. In the first year of this proposal, we developed a driving fitness assessment battery that consisted of tests that have been shown in the geriatric literature to be reliable and valid measures of driving-related cognitive and visual skills in older adults. These tests consist of the Snellen Maze Test, Trails A and B, Range of Motion and Gait Speed. Cognitively, the Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) has had significant limitations in driving fitness; therefore, alternative cognitive tools such as the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) exam were included, if appropriate.. Drivers with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) will be recruited and given this battery of tests to: 1) Assess their cognitive and visual fitness, 2) establish the usefulness and effectiveness of these tests to drivers before embarking on the journey, and 3) identify potential risk factors that contribute to unsafe driving. This is Year 1 of a five-year grant. Over the course of the grant, we anticipate the study will be helpful in identifying drivers who have cognitive and/or visual impairments that may make driving a truck, especially one carrying hazardous materials, unsafe. A unique aspect of this part of the study is the possibility of improving driving fitness by offering drivers with demonstrated cognitive and visual deficits the opportunity to retrain and improve such skills in a technologically advanced high-fidelity simulator.
