Abstract
A final decision on the driving cessation of older adults is often made not just by the elderly drivers themselves, but also in consultation with their household members. In this study, we attempt to model this collective household decision, which explicitly takes into account (1) multiple household members' intentions on driving cessation, collectively forming the household intention, and (2) the effects of heterogeneous communication content among household members. An empirical analysis was conducted based on in-depth interview survey data collected in Shimane and Hiroshima, Japan. Major empirical findings include that (1) an accident experience may increase other household members' intentions for driving cessation rather than the elderly driver's intention, and (2) driving cessation would be promoted particularly when other household members communicate the possibility of giving a ride to the elderly.
