Comparison of Crossing Incidents Gathered from Drive Recorders in Three Regions

It is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of active safety measures to reduce traffic accidents based on accident data recorded after collision without scenarios leading to accidents. Incident (near-miss) data gathered from drive recorders are therefore used instead of accident data. The present paper utilizes incident data sets from three regions in Japan—the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Shizuoka City, and Yurihonjo City. The data collected in each region have unique characteristics. Data sets from representative regions in Japan with a variety of features are required to estimate the effectiveness, reduction in all Japan accidents, of active safety measures. The present paper first introduces two incident databases for the three regions, and then describes the characteristics of crossing incidents in each region and proposes traffic safety countermeasures.
