Abstract
Total vehicle kilometers traveled in Japan were calculated to utilize automobile fuel consumption survey, road traffic census, questionnaire survey in driving license center. Characteristic of these three surveys method were reviewed, these calculated total vehicle kilometers traveled were checked each other. And traffic accident rate per vehicle kilometers traveled of each vehicle types, road types and drivers' attributes were calculated to utilize these assumed vehicle kilometers traveled and traffic accident data. It was indicated that in comparison with vehicle types, traffic accident rate per vehicle kilometers traveled of taxi and hired car is higher than that rate of any other vehicles, specially pedestrian or bicycle accident rate of taxi and hired car is much higher. In comparison with road types, it was assumed that traffic accident rate on community road is higher than that rate on any other road types. Traffic accident rate of younger and elderly drivers were higher than that rate of middle ages. Quasi induced exposure which was calculated traffic accident rate indirectly were applied to analyze traffic accident.
