Abstract:
This study examines safety verification behaviors associated with near-miss events at nonregulated intersections with poor visibility. From an assessment of a driver’s eye-gaze movements and facial orientation associated with the sudden appearance of bicyclists encountered while approaching a nonregulated intersection, we attempt to analyze the distinctive motion of the safety verification behaviors before and after near-miss events. Finally, the experimental results suggest that the sudden appearance of a bicyclist in the vehicle path has an increased chance of becoming a near-miss event. Specifically, the trajectory characterized by the eye-gaze movements and facial orientations of the driver before and after near-miss events show close correlation with the interview results of daytime on a sunny day.
