In Japan, the authors analyzed accident data using automated driving systems under the auspices of the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) of the Cabinet Office of the Government of Japan. Based on ITARDA macro data from 2013, 255 SIP accident patterns with three or more fatalities were established and studied for four years. This article describes the background, accident patterning methodology, a pattern sheet sample, analysis of sheets, and some study results using the 255 SIP accident patterns. It also introduces the future plans for these SIP accident patterns in a national accident database.
