Research on Mechanisms to Provide Attention-attracting Information Effective in Preventing Rear-End Collisions
In the subject research, the authors have studied a mechanism to provide effective attention-attracting information by analyzing the occurrence factors of rear-end collisions on Tokyo’s Metropolitan Expressway. Focusing on the fact that the traffic accidents that frequently occur at the location surveyed significantly decreased when the adjacent new route was placed in service, the authors have demonstrated the factors causing the accidents through an analyses of the accidents before and after the service of the new route along with changes in traffic condition caused by the service. The authors have also studied the timing, media, and contents of the information to be provided corresponding to these factors.
