Abstract

In recent years, the number of traffic accident shows gradual decreasing in severe injuries, whereas increasing the total number of accidents. It is necessary to investigate the drivers' behaviors in intersections since many traffic accidents occur in the area. During yellow light at signalized intersections, drivers occasionally fall into dilemma either passing through the intersection or stopping at stop-line. In this paper, using the drive recorder equipped vehicle, many incident data that occurred during yellow light has been investigated. Using the collected data, actual dangerous zone during yellow light is extracted. Because the zone is one of the targets for accident prevention, the obtained understandings are useful in considering measures for enhancing safety.
