Abstract
In accordance with aging in Japan, many vehicle drivers suffer from any diseases or symptoms. We investigated the inpatients, emergency room visitors and autopsied vehicle drivers who had suffered from sudden onset of diseases while driving. Because some of them had been involved in subsequent vehicle collisions, preventive measures were required. Our research team examined the prevention of these types of vehicle collisions. The medical staffs have to keep the driver’s health in good condition. The engineers have to consider further technology for avoiding uncontrolled vehicle’s collisions. Furthermore, based on the background of vehicle collisions, the comprehensive preventive measures are prepared. Therefore, our research team brought the proposal to prevent the driver’s health-related vehicle collisions. We hope this proposal might be used for the traffic safety in Japan.
