歩行者の横断歩道外道路横断行動の分析

抄録

In this paper, we study road crossing behaviors of pedestrians in order to develop pedestrian agent. The purpose of the agent is to evaluate safety system, which focus on reducing vehicle-pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians who collided with vehicles are often seriously injured or killed because they are not protected with collision safety devices. Therefore, it is important to prevent pedestrians from colliding with vehicle to reduce the number of fatalities by traffic accident. To prevent pedestrian accidents, it is necessary to predict the movement of pedestrian. For this reason, this study sets its final goal to develop a pedestrian model, which represents the actual pedestrian movement of the traffic environment. This paper describes our field survey and result of analysis of behaviors of pedestrians crossing roads without crosswalk. As a result, we find the feature of pedestrian behavior, including crossing angle, speed and relationship of vehicle movement.
