Abstract

If accidents occur at crossings without signals, drivers who incorrectly perceive that there will be no crossing vehicles cause accidents. In this study, we verified the drivers' awareness and the effect of providing information to drivers with improper perceptions using experiments conducted in driving simulators. Our experiment revealed that providing safety advisories reduced improper perceptions, however, providing abstract information, had little effect on the approach speed. Therefore, drivers with improper perceptions should be provided more practical information.
