STUDY ON ADAPTATION ABILITY OF BLIND CROSSROAD ACCIDENT PREVENTION SYSTEM TO NEAR MISS INCIDENT

摘要

Accidents at crossroads or intersections account for half of all fatal accident occurrences inrnJapan. It is conjectured that the occurrence of overlooking or misjudgment at crossroads or atrnintersections is more than those on the road between intersections. Accident reductionrnmeasures for such situations are important in view of total accident reduction needs. Researchrnand development for accident prevention system in similar situations is ongoing in Japan andrnabroad. In order to develop an appropriate accident prevention system, the authors studied therneffectiveness of accident prevention systems such as (a) road-to-vehicle cooperation system,rn(b) vehicle-to-vehicle cooperation system and (c) autonomous system to the near miss incidentrnscene classified by its occurrence mechanism. It was found that each system proves effective inrnpreventing an accident that could arise from near miss incident scene.
