Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wayfinding and signage provisions, sensitivity of senior driving behavior and road safety. Three scenario types were designed using driving simulator to simplify the airport navigation and driving complexity of the road designs to the airport. An assorted road furniture was included on alternative airport road access to provide a variety of wayfinding complexity. Fifteen experience car drivers in range of age 50–54, 55–59 and over 60 years were selected to perform the study. Participants were asked to drove for approximately 20 minutes to complete the simulated driving. The types of errors (parameter) of simulated driving were identified, evaluated and compared to the age group. Results were analyzed by ANOVA and discussed with reference to the use of driving simulator. The ANOVA confirmed that senior drivers’ age group have no significant effect on the airport road design, wayfinding and all research parameters; risk of collisions, exceed the speed limit, traffic light tickets, centerline crossings and road edge excursions.
