Abstract

Recently, the number of traffic accidents involving elderly drivers has been increasing, and it is known that side collisions at the intersection are particularly frequent. Thus, we put on-dash cams for 22 drivers aged 50-82 years old to measure their driving behavior at stop intersections. The relation between emergency braking frequency and looking behavior, and cognitive/physical characteristics and driving attitude were investigated. The results show that some elderly drivers can perform compensatory driving behaviors such as looking both ways at stop intersections to reduce the frequency of emergency braking even though their cognitive and physical characteristics have deteriorated.
