| Research Abstract |
The previous study showed that traffic accidents occurred at intersections were caused by ergonomic compound factors including the road traffic conditions. In addition to the field study, three-dimensional computer graphic simulation method of visual environment at intersections was built originally in this study. The quantitative evaluation of the direct and indirect (that is, provided by the traffic convex mirror) view of the drivers was realized with the method. The causes and the background factors of traffic accidents were considered based on the drivers’ viewing situation and the driving tactics by a detailed analysis using drive video recorder data. Integrating these results, it was considered the effects of good direct/indirect visibility and the ergonomic requirements of the visual environment for the safety at intersections. It was also found the basic conditions which were useful to design safe and smooth traffic system at intersections.
