Outline of Final Research Achievements

Four groups（1.Bicycle riders' behaviors analysis group, 2.Cause analysis group for bicycle related accident, 3.Design group for bicycles and roads and 4. Proposal group for local people based on the participatory project promoting public educational of traffic safety）studied aiming the construction of new traffic system in the sustainable society.
We could get the relation with the researchers in Netherlands in our second year, and could researched the real situation of bicycle using in Netherlands and had one-day work-shop with TON foundation.
