Abstract:
For this study, we defined four situations that are likely to trigger accidents on highways as driving topics, i.e., breakdown vehicles, jumping out of small animals, falling objects, and lane decreases. Carrying out running experiments controlling the time period (daytime or nighttime) and the traffic flow (overtaking vehicle: Yes or No), we studied the comparative analysis for each driving topic, focusing on driving characteristics of young drivers and elderly drivers concerning to “cognitions”, “judgments”, and “operations”. Using evaluation experiments, we try to analyze the driving characteristics of elderly drivers for driving topics encountered on highways based on comparing to young drivers.
