Investigation of Risk Factors for Pedestrian Recognition Error using Active Safety Driving Recorder -Vehicle

-Vehicle-pedestrian Conflict Patterns and Preliminary Empirical Approach for Understanding the Conflict-

Abstract

Analysis of vehicle-pedestrian conflict data, which was collected by active safety driving recorder, have suggested that drivers' detection performance for pedestrian walking on crosswalk is critically affected by increment of safety confirmation requirements. In order to verify the negative influence, replication experiment was conducted in test road that simulated actual road configuration, and a mobile robot was used as a simulated pedestrian. Degraded pedestrian detection performance was successfully observed according to increment of drivers' scanning directed to locations other than a pedestrian approaching.
