The elder population with 65 years old or more in Korea has been entered into an aging society as 9.1[%] in 2005 to 14.3[%] in 2018. The elder population in 2026 will be expected to 20.8[%] with the rapid aging society. In this study, there has been conducted a study on development of headlamp for elder friendly vehicle in order to ffrom two different groups, one group for elder with over 65 ages, the other group for compared ages(20 ages, 30~50 ages). Glare test and forward visibility test were performed on wet and dry road conditions. As the result of these tests, it showed to prefer headlamp installed partially yellow coated bulb, which gives warm feeling on dry road condition. Forward visibility of headlamp which developed to fit on wet road condition is similar to existing HID headlamp. Glare was evaluated less than halogen and HID headlamp. However, it need to more improve glare and forward visibility performance of headlamp for old drivers.

The objective of this study is to analyze the needs and determine the requirements of elder drivers for effectively using In-vehicle Information System (IVIS), by reducing cognitive and physical impact on this vulnerable group. The persona method was used to determine the relevant characteristics of older drivers. Task analysis was performed in order to obtain general interaction problems of the personas when using a common function of recent days IVIS. The results were classified in the different usability goals as general requirements, specific needs. This study suggest improvement directions in order to develop an elderly friendly IVIS; in addition, different usability metrics were suggested. In this way, elder drivers would easily interact with new powerful functions supplied by IVIS of modern cars; while improving safety and comfort of an rapidly aging society.
