Abstract: We simulated an accident prone traffic scene with our highly realistic driving simulator. In this research, the scene features a motorcycle suddenly appearing from a behind a line of vehicles in a congested street into the path of an oncoming car turning right at an intersection. As a result, the driver often only has less than one second before applying brake, that is to say, the permitted avoidance time is short. To avoid a collision between a vehicle turning right and an oncoming vehicle, it is important to predict the possibility of danger in the intersection and lower the vehicle speed while driving through the intersection. Driving behaviour in a collision was compared among different ages of drivers and manoeuvre differences before collision were confirmed. The analysis of the collision patterns and driver collision avoidance behaviour described above suggests that enhancing forward collision avoidance support systems.
