Abstract:
It is necessary to examine the driver behavior in intersections since many traffic accidents occur in the area. During yellow light, drivers occasionally cause the dilemma either passing through the intersection or stopping at stop line. In this paper, using the driver recorder equippped vehicle, many incident data that occurred during yellow light has been investigated. Using the collected data, actual dangerous zone during yellow light was extracted. Because the zone is one of the targets to accident prevention, the obtained understandings are useful in considering measures for enhancing safety such as road-vehicle communications.
