The focus of the SENSE-APP project is the development of proof of concept and transition to a prototype application (app) that communicates the risk knowledge to the older driver in an accessible user-friendly way. The SENSE-APP will provide older drivers with timely knowledge based on their actual driving risk for accidents. It will be an important tool which will help older drivers put mitigations in place to improve their driving safety and/or begin to plan for the changes to living arrangements associated with retirement from driving. The SENSE-APP project has two phases starting with the creation of a proof of concept and wireframes followed by an app prototype. All work will be done in collaboration with older drivers to ensure that the app is effective and usable for the project key use case. This project builds on the SENSE-MD project which developed the necessary algorithms and communication framework.
