Abstract

Kagawa Prefecture holds the worst ranking for traffic accident deaths per capita in Japan. The desire to formulate effective countermeasures against road traffic accidents in the Prefecture motivated initiation of the IATSS H2646 project which is based on research conducted by psychology and engineering scholars in cooperation with the local administrative officers and engineers from the private sector. The process of planning the countermeasures is intended to be generalized to other regions. Having unify the investigation and analyze various aspects, it was discovered that making signalized intersections more compact would reduce traffic accidents directly and effectively, in turn decreasing the individual differences in the safety conscientiousness of drivers.
