Description

This presentation covers a broad range of issues related to driver capability assessment. In the first half, topics surrounding the foundations of driver rehabilitation will share how the media relates to policy trends on driver licensing. In addition, the fundamentals of driver rehabilitation include discussion of the societal demand for driver rehabilitation services and contemporary challenges to service provision. The latter half presents “frontiers” in driver rehabilitation by reviewing applications of technology from vehicle modifications and beyond. Based on a video segment reviewing the phases of driver rehabilitation, technology for the purpose of driving assessment will be demonstrated. The presenter describes a novel methodology called NAViSection with a brief overview of technologies in the realm of intelligent vehicles. In closing, future benefits of intelligent vehicles in driving assessment present an outlook for technology to bring harmony to the current demand for driver rehabilitation.
