Development and Basic Research for Danger Representation System to Pedestrians Crossing the Road

Abstract

Traffic fatalities accidents during walking are often when crossing roads. Also, even if an accident is not reached, dangerous road crossing, which causes the driver to feel unsafe or makes annoying brakes, is done on a daily basis. In this study, we develop a system for training crossing the road in VR environment with using ”danger representation” from the outside which is in order to make safer road crossing. In this paper, we conducted an experiment to verify the effect of the danger representation system. As a result of comparing before and after crossing the road with using system, the judgment criteria just before the crossing and the behavior during crossing increased significantly to the safety side.
