Abstract
Traffic safety is a very important society problem. In order to solve this problem, we can investigate the traffic accident from three sides of the car, the traffic environment and human. This paper addresses a new study approach of traffic safety from the viewpoint of man-machine system. The investigation of the human mechanism on visual and auditory interactive information processing is very important for safe uses of multimedia machines and driver. In this study, (1) human characteristics of the audio-visual information processing are investigated by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), (2) a virtual driver system and (3) a portable eyesight test system are proposed.
