Fitness to Drive and Driver Rehabilitation:

Supporting Post-pandemic Mobility

Abstract

As the spread of COVID-19 infection begins to come to an end, analysis of its impact on mobility is required. This paper analyzes epidemiological research reports on traffic accidents, results of traffic accident open data from the National Police Agency, and clinical activities centered on Saga University Hospital before and after the spread of infection. Case studies have also shown that although giving up driving reduces the risk of a traffic accident, measures are needed to maintain transportation activities essential to daily life, such as shopping, working, hospital visits, and various social activities. For this purpose, we discussed the need to train new experts such as "mobility coordinators" to support mobility.
