Planning, Designing, and Engineering Tomorrow’s User-Centered, Age-Ready Transportation System (Spring 2019)

unapi

The United States is in the midst of a major demographic transformation toward older citizens. The percentage of the US population aged 65 and -older was 13 percent in 2010, and the Census Bureau projects that by 2020 that number will be 16.1 percent and by 2030 nearly 20 percent (Werner 2011). The increase in the number of older adults will increase demands on today’s transportation system. Creative development and deployment of new technologies and approaches are required to ensure that people can remain mobile, safe, engaged, and productive throughout their lives. Applying a user-centered approach to develop and integrate information and communications technologies, robotics, and related artificial intelligence applications into tomorrow’s transportation vehicles and infrastructure will be critical to meet the evolving demands of an aging society.
