Adaptive Driving: Publications and Resources

Summary: Our Adaptive Driving Controls database includes a collection of publications centered on assistive driving technologies for individuals with disabilities. This database features articles, guides, and research papers that explore various adaptive equipment such as hand controls, pedal extenders, and electronic driving aids, as well as information on vehicle modifications like wheelchair lifts and accessible van conversions. These publications offer insights into the latest innovations, practical advice for selecting and using adaptive controls, and regulatory information to ensure safe and independent driving for those with mobility challenges.

Searching the Database: The data table below lists items that may have been updated or revised, but the table defaults to sorting by descending publication date; you can search and sort by clicking column headers (JavaScript required).
