TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - A study on pedal operation in the driving behavior of elderly drivers JO - Transactions of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan A1 - Aoki, Kunitomo A1 - Hirano, Akio A1 - Shinkai, Hiroko A1 - Yamauchi, Satsuki A1 - Takeda, Natsuka A1 - Inagami, Makoto A1 - Yonekawa, Takashi A1 - Shimazaki, Kan A1 - Aoki, Hirofumi SP - 500 EP - 504 VL - 52 IS - 2 N2 - The aim of this study is to collect basic data for the prevention of accidents caused by pedal misapplication among the elderly. We hypothesized that frequent pedal changes in parking lots would increase the variance of the foot position on the brake pedal. We install on-dash cams in cars owned by elderly drivers and asked them to drive freely. The results supported the hypothesis. It is possible that this large variance may be a cause of the pedal misapplication.
