Abstract

Since elderly drivers tend to cause crossing collisions, the most frequent automobile accidents, it is required to clarify the principal causation of these mischances in our aging society.
In order to compare elderly drivers' behavior with that of expert drivers paying special attention to the number of collisions with bicycles, drivers' safety confirmation activities and their foot position, we established a simulation program based on the experimental data obtained on the test courses.
