The framework is based on Michon's three levels of driving behaviors: strategic, tactical, and operational (TRB, 2016). The highest and overarching level, the strategic level, is the decision-making process of planning trip goals, deciding on the mode of transport (e.g., vehicle, walking, biking), and following the directions to get to the destination. The driving behavior skill at the strategic level is also needed during the driving process-for example, when a driver comes upon an accident and has to decide how to find an alternative route. Unexpected route changes are often the cause of older adults with cognitive impairment getting lost in familiar areas, and this indicates that education in skills that improve problem-solving is needed (Dickerson, Stressel, Justice, & Luther-Krug, 2012).
