我國即將於2025年進入超高齡化社會，由於醫療技術的演進，已有愈來愈多可以自主行動的高齡者活躍於交通系統當中，然而其生理機能卻在逐漸退化，使得高齡者駕駛機車出行時風險提升，從而導致事故發生的機率增加，高齡交通事故死亡人數更已達40％以上，可見高齡交通安全室相當嚴重的問題。但我國之城鄉發展不均，且人行道建設及大眾運輸普及率在許多地區皆嚴重不足，以上諸多因素迫使駕駛能力退化的高齡者，仍須使用機車作為其主要交通工具，此種缺乏合於自身身體條件下的運具選擇困境，已形成高齡交通環境中日漸惡化的破口。因此設計符合高齡者使用需求且以安全為首要考量之新型態機車，將可在考量其移動能力的前提下，提供更安全易操作的運具選擇，而對操作能力要求較低的設計，亦可減少因自身操作不當而衍生的交通事故風險。
以往國內外交通安全相關研究多以道路設計及肇事特性等方向切入，本研究改從車輛之設計考量要素進行分析及調查，並以我國目前最為迫切之機車安全問題為目標，解決長期無法改善的高齡機車駕駛人高事故率問題。由於道路環境為社會大眾所共享，投入新型態運具將涉及多群體的使用權益及互動關係，故本研究將綜合考量各利害關係人所重視的事項，納入高齡使用者本身之特性與需求、製造商的技術及成本因素、政府管理及法規制度、對一般用路人之影響等多面向議題，研析與調查不同立場之意見與關聯，歸納得出高齡者友善之最適新型態機車所需具備的設計考量要素。
透過本研究建立之層級分析架構得知，研發高齡友善新型態機車之各構面與評估準則重要性以車輛的易操作性、駕駛資格、行駛穩定性、道路環境以及車種定位相對重要，建議優先作為研發設計考量要素。

Taiwan will enter a super-aged society in 2025. Due to the evolution of medical technology, the number of the elderly that can act autonomously in the transportation system are increasing. However, the gradually deteriorating physiological functions increase the risk for the elderly to ride motorcycles and leads to a higher probability of accidents. In fact, the death toll from traffic accidents for the elderly has exceeded 40%, demonstrating the urgency of improving the traffic safety. In Taiwan, sidewalk construction and public transportation are unevenly distributed between urban and rural areas. The inadequate traffic infrastructures force elderly people with degraded driving ability to still use motorcycles as their main means of transportation, and the limited mode choice has gradually worsened the traffic environment for them. Therefore, the design of a new scooter that meets the needs of the elderly and takes safety as the priority is required to decrease the traffic accidents resulted from improper operation.
In the past, the research related to domestic and foreign traffic safety mostly focused on road design and accident characteristics. However, this research focuses on analyzing and investigating the design considerations of motorcycles, to alleviate the high motorcycle accident rate among the elder users. Since the road environment is shared by the public, the use of new types of vehicles should involve the rights and interactions of multiple groups. Therefore, this study will comprehensively consider the matters that are valued by all stakeholders, such as the needs and characteristics of the elder users, the current technology and cost of the manufacturer, the laws and regulations and the impact on general users. By analyzing and investigating opinions and correlations of different positions, this research will conclude the required considerations of designing the new type of elder-friendly motorcycle.
Through the AHP framework established in this study, it is known that the importance of various aspects and evaluation criteria for the development of new elderly-friendly motorcycle is relatively important in terms of ease of operation, driving qualifications, driving stability, road environment and vehicle type.
