The road to safer walking: improving hazard perception in older adult pedestrians

Busy traffic environments can be hazardous for elderly pedestrians.

This project will develop an online hazard perception training program for elderly pedestrians.

The training program aims to enhance hazard perception by using 3D-simulated hazardous roadway scenarios as well as physical and cognitive training to enable elderly pedestrians to deal with traffic risks more safely.
