Akira Yoshizawa, Hirotoshi Iwasaki · 2017
The number of fatal traffic accidents has been decreasing in Japan because of vehicles' recent safety technologies, such as stiff cabins, antilock braking systems, and seat belts. Automated vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems can advance the trend. However, many traffic accidents occur on narrow streets in residential sections, where it is difficult for even advanced vehicles to drive safely. In this research, we utilized a near-miss incident database to analyze driver gazing. The result showed that preventive warning systems are useful for avoiding traffic accidents.
