ドライブレコーダのデータから解析した脇見運転の特徴

抄録

One of the cause of traffic accidents or incidents is drivers' looking aside behavior. The authors analyzed the features of drivers' looking aside behavior by using the drive recorder data. We found that this behavior occurs when three conditions stated below are satisfied. The first one is that the time head way is long. The second is that the required deceleration for collision avoidance is supposed to be small. The third is that there is enough time for the drivers to push brake pedal and stop safely. Drivers’ looking aside behavior under dangerous situation doesn’t always lead to an accident, but when the looking aside period is too long, this behavior tends to cause an accident.
