The Basic Analysis of Pedal Misapplication Errors

Pedal misapplication crashes has been a social issue. Statistics data identified about 6000 pedal misapplication crashes occur in Japan per year. A U-shaped function shows significant over-involvement by both younger and older, especially over 75 when crash involvement is plotted against age. Despite many findings on statistical analysis, the mechanism of pedal application errors hasn't become clear. This study focused the mechanism of pedal misapplication from the point of view of human factors. Analysis of foot placement in look over left and right shoulders indicated that changes in posture would be potential sources of biases in foot aiming.
