Research Abstract |
Large number of fatal accidents between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians in crosswalk are occurred every year in Japan, where vehicles travel on the left side of the road. Driver's detection failure of pedestrians was often a primary collision cause. There is a need to assist the drivers to risk associated with crossing pedestrians during the right turn. This study investigates the communication capability of a dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) system (5.8GHz) between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians in the crosswalk.
