7. How we use the profiles in GOAL
• Transport needs and research gaps with regard to
-Driving
-Public transport, walking, cycling
-Traveller information
© GOAL consortium 7
8. Driving
• Declination in perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor function affects
driving skills
-Motion perception: assessment of traffic situation
-Peripheral vision: overlooking, merging and changing lanes
-Selective attention: traffic signs and signals
-Reaction times in traffic situation
• Adaptation
-Experience and expectancy
• Traffic safety
-More likely to hurt themselves than to put others at risk
-Critical factor: average KMs travelled each year
• Implications for infrastructure, vehicle & fitness to drive

9. Public transport
• Accessibility
-vehicles
-Busstops
• Availabitlity
-close to home and destinations
-rural areas
-demand responsive
• Implications
-Directives, guidelines, best practice available
-Implication and details > economic justification of measures

10. Walking & cycling
• Walking & cycling
-Important to stay healthy, mobile, independent and active
-Walking as access mode
-Physical restricts and cognitive declines increase the risk of accidents and
severe injuries (cycling)
-Higher vulnerability
-Friendly environments and infrastructure
• Implications
-Design of infrastructure
-Promotion, encouragement,
training (e-bicycles)

11. Traveller information
• Cognitive, visual, hearing and other physical impairments
• Insecurity, inexperienced, percieved unsafety
• Elderly-friendly travel information
-Type of information
-Pre-trip / on-trip
-Functionality & user interface design
• Implications
-Little research available
-Technology adoption
-Workload (esp in-vehicle)

12. Wat betekent dit voor beleid?
• Auto rijden
-Operationeel rijgedrag > verkeersstroom, capaciteit
-Fitness to drive > infrastructuur, rijbewijsbeleid
• Lopen en fietsen
-Ongevalskans > maatschappelijke kosten
• Openbaar vervoer
-Toegankelijkheid > aanbod
-Toegankelijkheid > infrastructuur & materieel
• Reis- en verkeersinformatie
-Cognitief vermogen > dynamisch verkeersmanagement
• Segmentering basis voor beleid
-effectiviteit van maatregelen
-Basis voor kosten-baten analyse
