With the rapidly changing demographic structure in the EU due to reducing birth rates and increasing life expectancies, the mobility needs of the elderly are also changing. These demographic changes are of growing concern to mobility and road safety especially since recent data show an increasing proportion of elderly in the fatality statistics.
The SENIORS project focuses on the protection of elderly by providing tools to encourage wider adoption of advanced restraint and pedestrian protection systems improving the protection of older (and obese) vulnerable road users.
