| Research Abstract |
The characteristics of motor vehicle drivers were investigated at driving situations on road and simulator. An experiment was conducted to examine the behavior of drivers at intersections with stop lines and no traffic lights. Elderly drivers often ignored the stop line, and the number of times they carefully looked left and right was low. Using a driving simulator, the behavior of drivers receiving voice-guided instructions was examined. The results showed that it took longer for the elderly to turn the steering wheel, and that the rotation angle of the wheel required to turn was larger compared to the general and student groups.
