| Research Abstract |
We conducted pilot experiments in a new educational method for safe bicycle riding. First, we conducted an experiment to collect the participants' riding behavior while passing through an intersection. Second, we simulated the participants passing through the intersection in the presence of a crossing bicycle under various conditions. The results indicated that it was important for a rider to increase the chance to detect a crossing bicycle by confirming safety especially by looking right and left. Finally, we conducted safe bicycle riding education to improve the participants' safe bicycle riding awareness. The participants came to understand that it is effective to confirm safety by looking right and left to decrease the risk of an accident.
