Abstract

This study focuses on sudden crossing behaviors of pedestrians in urban narrow roads, which is one of the most
unsafe behaviors in the viewpoint of traffic safety, setting its final goal to develop an active safety technology to prevent
pedestrian accidents. In this paper, hazard-anticipative driving behavior in a narrow road is formulated by utilizing the
pedestrian sudden crossing behavior model which the authors proposed in the previous study, and a safety index is
proposed based on the formulation. From comparisons between the proposed index and the real driving data obtained
through real car experiments, the usefulness of the proposed index is shown.
