Abstract

The challenge of our very next future is to design cars that face the specific needs of the growing number of older drivers. We suggest an approach that takes into account the whole system. Beside different expert groups we include the enduser in our research and propose using inclusive design to assure usability for a wide range of users. The functional analysis conducted in this study allowed us, to gain a better picture about the key elements, stakeholders and approaches in the research field. It gives insights into the complex system, shows interrelations and will help us to advance in the development of coherent research aiming at the multidisciplinary delivery of sets of requirements to be considered by car designers and constructors.

Keywords: older driver, functional analysis, requirement generation, systemic approach
