Abstract
To clarify the factors and the mechanisms of traffic accidents, we focused on the near-miss incident data while crossing signalized intersection, which is the state before the traffic accidents will occur, and analyzed to find the factors of incidents. By analyzing the near-miss incident data, we found that right-to-straight incidents often occurred when the driver tried to pass through between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle on the opposite lane, and that the following vehicle tended to be faster than the preceding vehicle. From the experiment using a driving simulator, it shows the trend of driving behavior that driver might reduce situation awareness of the following vehicle on the opposite lane while turning right due to the existence of preceding vehicle on the opposite lane.
