Introduction: The introduction of automated vehicles to the road environment brings new challenges for older drivers. Level 3 of conditional automation requires drivers to take over control of their vehicle whenever the automated system reaches its limits. Even though autonomous vehicles may be of great benefit to older drivers in terms of safely maintaining their mobility, a better understanding of their take-over performance remains crucial. The objective of this review of the literature is to shed more light on the effects that aging has on take-over performance during automated driving. Methods: Three database searches were conducted: PsychINFO, Web Of Sciences, and TRID. Studies from the last decade which included groups of older drivers were reviewed. Results: After checking through abstracts and texts of articles, 9 articles, 4 proceedings papers, and 1 technical report were included in this review. All studies included a driving simulator that refers to level 3 of automation (which requires supervision by the driver). Five out of fourteen studies showed that older adults had poorer take-over performances (in terms of take-over time and take-over quality) than younger adults. However, several factors, such as the type of non-driving related task (NDRT), were seen to influence take-over performance in older adults. Speed, type and duration of notification interval, distribution and duration of driving modes, and number of take-overs were all also factors of influence. Conclusion: Findings from the studies selected yield divergent results, probably due to differences in their methodology or in the demographic characteristics of participants. This literature review highlights the need to develop new research on the impact of aging on take-over performance.
