マルチエージェント・シミュレーションを用いた 高速道路走行車両に与える緊急地震速報の影響に関する検討

抄録

It is anticipated that traffic accidents may occur because of the Earthquake Early Warning (EEW). The present authors introduced two driving simulators synchronized by server to perform virtual driving tests when the EEW is transmitted. To consider more realistic driving conditions, the agent-based model simulation was employed in this study. The behaviors of agents (drivers) were modeled based on the results of the driving simulator experiments. According to the numerical simulation of three moving vehicles under the EEW, a lower accident rate was observed on condition that more drivers turned on hazard lights after receiving the EEW. Hence, it is important to instruct drivers to turn on the hazard light before reducing moving speed if an EEW is transmitted on an expressway.
