However, little research is available about drivers’ mental workload in such a system. Experiments in this research were designed to evaluate age-related driving performances under the two independent variables of ages (young vs. old) and map orientation (north-up vs. track-up). Eight older adults, aged over 65 years old, and eight young adults in their twentieth to thirties were recruited. Four experiments have been established to test each of these drivers. The drivers’ performances were evaluated in terms of average arrival time, brake reaction time and navigations errors including misreading traffic lights and general navigation errors. The result shows that driving performance of the young adult is superior to that of the elders. The elders with a north-up tracking system needed more brake time than with a track-up system. In comparisons of the north-up and track-up systems, using the track-up system can caused less errors. Generally speaking, it is suggested that a track-up route guidance system should receive a higher weight for satisfactory driving performance and safety.. Implications regarding how ages and map-orientations affected driving and navigation skills were discussed.
