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. The influence of these functional abilities on driving performance was assessed using an interactive commercial truck driving simulator which provided a 220 degree field of view. Subjects navigated a 10 mile course through an array of city, country, and mountain terrain. Driver performance variables were recorded automatically by the simulator, and via structured observations conducted by two trained observers.
