Summary: Considerable evidence suggests that the decline in physiological abilities of older drivers leads to a reduction in the visual and psychomotor functions required for safe driving. This study recruited both older and younger drivers for a driving simulation experiment and compared their driving behaviors, establishing driving behavior graphs. The results indicate that older drivers have slower responses in observing traffic information and applying brakes and steering, providing valuable insights for analyzing driving behavior and safety for older individuals.

Summary: In this study, the cognitive characteristics of human drivers were summarized and a comprehensive architecture for humanlike automated driving solutions was designed, with a focus on drivers' compensation strategies in different environments. We explored cognition foundation, cognition process, and cognition strategies from drivers' perspectives to build a strong theoretical and factual foundation for the development of humanlike AD solutions.

Summary: This 4-year prospective cohort study aimed to identify predictors of driving cessation among older people in Taiwan. The study found that marital status, coronary artery disease, stride length, cognitive conceptualization, body mass index, and exercise frequency were all factors associated with older drivers ceasing to drive.

Summary: In this on-road study, it was found that about 25% of older drivers overestimated their driving skills. Overestimators showed poorer on-road driving performances, a higher likelihood of prospective near and minor at-fault accidents, poorer cognitive performances in specific driving-related domains, and reduced annual mileage.

Summary: The Manchester Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) is a widely used measure of aberrant driving behaviors. This study adjusted the existing DBQ items based on observations from a naturalistic driving study in Shanghai, China, and provides a method for future modifications of the questionnaire.

Summary: This study examines the factors influencing aberrant driving behavior among professional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers and explores the relationship between behavioral factors, demographic variables, and crashes. The results indicate that violations, errors, and positives in driver behavior, as well as education, driving experience, and alcohol consumption, are significant predictors of crashes. Age and marital status, however, do not have an association with crashes. The study highlights the importance of positive driver behaviors in reducing crashes and suggests its integration into driver training programs.

Summary: Many older drivers incorrectly estimate their driving ability and there is a significant overlap between cognitive and driving self-awareness, with this overlap being more pronounced in overestimators. Misestimation of cognitive ability could hinder self-awareness of driving ability, highlighting the importance of developing measures to promote self-awareness of ability.

Summary: Interactions between pedestrians and drivers are vital for traffic safety, and psycho-social factors play a significant role in predicting behaviors of road users. The study found that pedestrians have a negative perception of drivers' road behaviors, while drivers believe their own behaviors are more appropriate. The findings also suggest that younger drivers are more likely to engage in unsafe behaviors.

Summary: This study compared the driving performance of older drivers and middle-aged drivers in a naturalistic setting, finding that older drivers usually chose simpler routes and made fewer errors, likely indicating their use of adaptive strategies to maintain safe driving.

Summary: This literature review examines the impact of aging on takeover performance during automated driving. Older adults generally have poorer takeover performance compared to younger adults in terms of takeover time and quality. However, factors such as non-driving related tasks can also influence takeover performance in older adults.

Summary: In this study, the authors found that abnormal beta and gamma oscillations in the basal ganglia are related to bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate cortical rhythms and was found to affect movement speed and amplitude in this study. Changes in inhibitory interneuronal activity may reflect compensatory mechanisms in the primary motor cortex (M1) to counteract bradykinesia.

Summary: This study examined the association between license renewal policies and driving mobility in older adults in the United States. It found that in-person license renewal was associated with lower driving mileage, especially for older adults with health-related travel difficulties. However, the length of renewal cycle did not significantly affect driving status or annual mileage.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the differences in driving performance and skills between young drivers and elderly drivers. The results showed that younger drivers scored significantly higher than older drivers on certain items in the assessment form. The impact of age and decline on driving performance was found to be smaller than expected. Older drivers may use compensatory actions to overcome difficulties in driving.

Summary: This study determined the predictive ability of the Trail Making Test Part B and Useful Field of View on pass/fail on-road outcomes in drivers with cognitive impairment referred for comprehensive driving evaluations. The results showed that UFOV subtest 3 may be more useful than Trails B in predicting pass/fail outcomes in drivers with more severe cognitive impairment referred for CDEs.

Summary: Vaccine hesitancy is a problem in improving childhood vaccination rates in Canada, and inconsistent measurement of vaccine uptake indicators makes it difficult to understand the extent of this problem. A study using 2017 data found that 16.8% of parents had refused a vaccine, with influenza being the most commonly refused. Female parents or those from Quebec or the territories were more likely to refuse. 12.8% of parents were hesitant about vaccines, but eventually accepted them based on healthcare provider advice. 13.1% had delayed vaccinations, often due to health issues or age, and this was more common in larger households. Recent immigrants were less likely to refuse, delay, or be hesitant, but after 10 years in Canada, their likelihood increased.

Summary: A Learning City aims to enhance learning opportunities for individuals and communities, promoting social cohesion, cultural prosperity, and economic development. This study examines the current strengths and weaknesses of Thanyaburi district in Thailand as a learning city by surveying residents and analyzing geographic data. The findings suggest that the density and diversity of geographical locations influence the availability of formal and informal learning activities, leading to unequal learning opportunities within the district.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between alcohol consumption and health factors in older adults, finding that the prevalence of high-risk drinkers depends on the classification of alcohol use. Diseases and physical health conditions were associated with high-risk drinking in males and females. Further research is needed to determine causal relationships using standardized definitions of alcohol consumption.

Summary: Using the novel data-driven method DEBM, this study determined the sequence of several common biomarker changes in Parkinson's disease (PD). The left putamen was found to be the earliest biomarker to become abnormal, followed by the right putamen, CSF alpha-synuclein, right caudate, left caudate, and serum NfL. The estimated disease stages showed significant differences between PD and healthy controls, and achieved a high accuracy for distinguishing PD from HC.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for institutionalisation in Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP). The study found that institutionalisation was more frequent in AP compared to PD and controls. Age, poorer cognition, and more-severe parkinsonian impairment were independent predictors of institutionalisation.
