          Age-related diminished c
          03.26.05 (10:48 am)   [edit]

          Las Vegas Lawyers


          Vegas Injury Law


          On a population basis, the age-related diminished capabilities that contribute most to older drivers' difficulties at freeway interchanges include losses in vision and information-processing ability, and decreased physical flexibility in the neck and upper body. Specifically, older adults show declines in static and dynamic acuity, increased sensitivity to glare, poor night vision, and reduced contrast sensitivity (McFarland, Domey, Warren, and Ward, 1960; Weymouth, 1960; Richards, 1972; Pitts, 1982; Sekuler, Kline, and Dismukes, 1982; Owsley, Sekuler, and Siemsen, 1983). These sensory losses are compounded by the following perceptual and cognitive deficits, the first two of which are recognized as being especially critical to safety: reduction in the ability to rapidly localize the most relevant stimuli in a driving scene; reduction in the ability to efficiently switch attention between multiple targets; reduction in working memory capacity; and reduction in processing speed (Avolio, Kroeck, and Panek, 1985; Plude and Hoyer, 1985; Ponds, Brouwer, and van Wolffelaar, 1988; Brouwer, Ickenroth, Ponds, and van Wolffelaar, 1990; Brouwer, Waterink, van Wolffelaar, and Rothengatter, 1991). The most important physical losses are reduced range of motion (head and neck), which impairs visual search, and slowed response time to execute a vehicle control movement, especially when a sequence of movements--such as braking, steering, and accelerating to weave and then exit a freeway--is required (Smith and Sethi, 1975; Goggin, Stelmach, and Amrhein, 1989; Goggin and Stelmach, 1990; Hunter-Zaworski, 1990; Staplin, Lococo, and Sim, 1990; Ostrow, Shaffron, and McPherson, 1992).


          One result of these age-related diminished capabilities is demonstrated by a driver who waits when merging and entering freeways at on-ramps until he/she is alongside traffic, then relies on mirror views of overtaking vehicles on the mainline to begin searching for an acceptable gap (McKnight and Stewart, 1990). Exclusive use of mirrors to check for gaps, and slowing or stopping to look for a gap, increase the likelihood of crashes and have a negative effect on traffic flow. Malfetti and Winter (1987), in a critical incident study of merging and yielding problems, reported that older drivers on freeway acceleration lanes merged so slowly that traffic was disrupted, or they stopped completely at the end of the ramp instead of attempting to approach the speed of the traffic flow before entering the mainline. In a survey of 692 older drivers, 25 percent reported that they stop on a freeway entrance ramp before merging onto the highway, and 17 percent indicated that they have trouble finding a large enough gap in which to merge onto the mainline (Knoblauch, Nitzburg, and Seifert, 1997). Thirty-four percent of the "young-old" respondents (ages 50 to 72) and 26 percent of the "old-old" respondents (ages 73 to 97) responded that they wish entrance lanes were longer. In Lerner and Ratté's research (1991), older drivers in focus group discussions commented that they experienced difficulty maintaining vehicle headway because of slower reaction times, difficulty reading signs, fatigue, mobility limitations, a tendency to panic or become disoriented, and loss of daring or confidence. Merging onto the freeway was the most difficult maneuver discussed. Needed improvements identified by these older drivers included the elimination of weaving sections and short merge areas, which would facilitate the negotiation of on-ramps at interchanges. Improvements identified to ease the exit process included better graphics, greater use of sign panels listing several upcoming exits, and other methods to improve advance signing for freeway exits.

          TB Cases Prompt Advisory About Soft Cheese Made From Raw Milk

          Vegas Injury Law


          FDA is advising that some soft cheeses made with raw milk present a health risk, especially to high risk groups, such as pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Recently, cases of tuberculosis in New York City have been linked to consumption of queso fresco style cheeses, either imported from Mexico or consumed in Mexico.

          Selecting Appropriate Interchanges

          In A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) presents six warrants (i.e., selection criteria) for interchanges and grade separations, including reductions in bottlenecks, crashes, and traffic volumes. Selecting the most appropriate type of interchange depends on various factors such as the number of intersection approaches, expected traffic movements, expected volumes, design controls, rights-of-way, and topographies. Planners should perform engineering reviews prior to any construction to determine the appropriate interchange configuration for a given situation. Moreover, accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians must be considered in order to provide access to all users, including people with disabilities.


          For additional guidance on the design selection process, engineers can reference AASHTO's policies, Guidelines for Preliminary Selection of Optimum Interchange Type for Specific Location, by N.J. Garber and M.D. Fontaine; Single Point Urban Interchange Design Operations Analysis by C.J. Messer, J.A. Bonneson, S.D. Anderson, and W.F. McFareland; or Grade Separated Intersections: Intersection and Interchange Design by J.P. Leisch.


          In Guidelines for Preliminary Selection of Optimum Interchange Type for Specific Location, Garber and Fontaine recommend using a diamond interchange for low-traffic volumes of less than 1,500 vehicles per hour (vph) and a single-point urban interchange for volumes between 1,500 and 5,500 vph. A single-point urban interchange yields higher delays when the crossroad and left-turn volumes do not balance. Additionally, Garber and Fontaine contend that a single-point interchange design is too expensive and intricate to construct where there are rights-of-way restrictions. Garber and Fontaine's results also indicate that when compared with diamond interchanges, single-point urban interchanges yield approximately 5-second delay savings per vehicle for up to a total flow of 4,500 vph. These delay savings do not apply to single-point interchanges with designs requiring a frontage road, where a diamond interchange (or a tight diamond interchange) often will be a more favorable design configuration.


          This study compares conventional diamond interchanges with round-abouts at ramp terminals in terms of delay only.
