ANALYSIS OF DRIVING BEHAVIOR IN FOLLOWING AND ADVANCED ADVISORY OF EMERGENCY BRAKING
To identify the causes of traffic accidents, it is essential to make clear the human error underlying each accident pattern. This paper focuses on rear-end collisions due to a delay in the response of the following vehicle's driver to the emergency braking of the preceding vehicle. One human factor that this accident pattern seems to suggest is a gap between the subjective recognition and the actual danger of the following vehicle's driver. The danger regarding the brake start timing of the following vehicle's driver when approaching the preceding vehicle has been studied by conducting experiments and through traffic observation. It was found that the driver of the following vehicle is not always taking into account the emergency braking of the preceding vehicle. To reduce the risk of rear-end collisions in this kind of situation, it is important to make the following vehicle's driver start a risk avoiding operation as quick as possible. Based on this idea, an emergency braking advanced advisory system is proposed in the advanced safety vehicle (ASV) project, initiated by the Ministry of Transport, and mounted to a Nissan ASV proptype system. This system has been designed to anticipate emergency braking by monitoring the returning speed of the gas pedal and turn of the stop lamp before the actual deceleration, thus enabling the following vehicle's driver to react earlier.
