Pedestrian Collision Risk Assessment Method of Right Turns at Intersections Considering Drivers’ Risk Anticipation of Traffic Environment Transition (Second Report)

- Drivers’ Visual Search Behavior Features Affecting Pedestrian Collision Risk -

Abstract

Towards prevention of traffic accidents involving pedestrians, the objective of this study is to construct a pedestrian collision risk assessment method of right turns at intersections for driver assistance systems based on driving behavior indices related to drivers’ risk anticipation. In this paper, we focused on 2 typical right-turn pedestrian collision scenes, one with no other traffic participants and the other with oncoming vehicles, and extracted risk assessment indices based on near-miss incident analysis. The extracted indices were validated through a risk scene reproducing experiment using the JARI-ARV and driving behavior features affecting collision risk were examined based on the results.
