Abstract

Crossing collisions, which are the most frequent accidents, account for 30 % of the total number of accidents. This type of collision mainly occurs on subsidiary roads at non signalized intersections. Elderly drivers tend to occur crossing collision, therefore, we conducted experiment on the test course using an experiment vehicle which was equipped with drive recorder. In this article, we report the elderly drivers' behavior focused on the chance of velocity and drivers' face angle at non signalized intersection and we show the risk factors that they represent.
