| 摘要： | In winter, drivers in cold, snowy regions face the severe driving environment of snow-induced visibility hindrance and icy roads. The lack of visual orientation that accompanies snow-induced visibility hindrance leads many drivers to tailgate in an attempt to orient themselves by following the taillights of the car running ahead. Since these drivers must make risk avoidance rapidly and properly when the car ahead slows or stops, their driving behaviors are considered to be a major factor in the occurrence of traffic accidents. Research done by the Civil Engineering Research Institute of Hokkaido has revealed the tendency for drivers who have more difficulty driving on winter roads, such as elderly drivers, to show greater individual differences in obstacle avoidance maneuvers under visibility hindrance. Such drivers are found often to take extreme actions, such as sudden and forceful brake application or sharp turning of the steering wheel. This paper discusses the development of a driving safety support system that uses the ITS technology of Cold Region AHS, toward establishing measures to prevent traffic accidents in winter. A comprehensive examination of various factors such as driver response and car behaviors is needed in order to implement the system effectively. Thus, the study experimented on driving behaviors of test drivers under snowstorm on a road in service. |
