Urban Travel 17 Urban Travel, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and the Safety of Elderly and Disabled Travelers C.G.B. Mitchell and S. Ling Suen NTELLIGENT Transportation Systems (ITS) are being pro- moted throughout the world to improve safety and efficiency I for drivers, vehicles, and roadway infrastructure. In almost all developed countries, there are growing elderly populations and a concomitant increase in the number of elderly and disabled drivers. In Canada, the population of people 65 and over is expected to increase from 3.2 million in 1995 to 7.8 million in 2025 and to 8.7 million in 2036 (22.4 percent of the population). In the United States, the population 65 and over is forecast to more than double between 1990 and 2030. The number of licensed elderly drivers has been increasing rapidly and is likely to continue to do so. (See Table 1.) It is likely that as early as the year 2020, elderly and disabled drivers and travelers will constitute more than 20 percent of the total market for ITS equipment. For commercial, as well as safety reasons, their needs should not be neglected by developers of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Travel by Elderly People In North America, the private car
