Abstract

In traffic fatal accidents, the ratio of elderly pedestrians becoming victims is increasing year by year. In particular, many elderly pedestrians are crossing, and it is essential for drivers to protect pedestrians in order to prevent accidents. Not only that, but also elderly pedestrians are required to cross after sufficient safety confirmation. On the other hand, through the analysis of fatal accidents, the risk of crossing behavior of elderly pedestrians can be grasped to a certain extent. The content first shows the risks leading to fatal accidents of elderly pedestrians, and then shows a model that quantifies those risks for each crossing behavior of the elderly. In the countermeasures, after stating the necessity of safety education for both elderly pedestrians and drivers, we summarize the risks of elderly pedestrians and the method of education using a model that quantifies them. In addition, we will explain the importance of working together as a part of social activities, not by the police and companies alone, but by the citizens as a whole. [Google Translate]


交通死亡事故では，高齢歩行者が被害者となる比率が年々上昇している．特に高齢歩行者が横断中のものが多く，事故防止ではドライバーによる歩行者保護を心掛けた運転は不可欠だが，それだけではなく，高齢歩行者が十分な安全確認をした上での横断も求められる．一方で，死亡事故の分析を通じて，高齢歩行者の横断行動のリスクは一定程度の把握をすることができる．内容では，まず，高齢歩行者の死亡事故につながるリスクを示し，次に，それらのリスクを高齢者の横断行動毎に定量化したモデルを示す．対策では高齢歩行者及びドライバー双方への安全教育の必要性を述べた上で，高齢歩行者のリスクとそれらを定量化したモデルによる教育の方法をまとめる．また事例を交え，警察，企業などの単体ではなく，市民が一体となって社会活動の一環として取り組むことの重要性も述べる．
