Abstract
In this study, crossing behavior of the aged people outside the crosswalk is investigated. We shot crossing behavior of both aging and non-aging people by digital video cameras and interviewed them. The results of the analyses are summarized as follows: 1) crossing time of aging people is significantly longer that non-aging people although there is no difference of the lag between a person crossing and a vehicle coming. Thus, crossing behavior of aging people is relatively dangerous than non-aging; and 2) those who recognize that the crossing is not dangerous cross roads more dangerously. The results indicate that the own physical ability and crossing behavior should be understood appropriately.
