Characteristics of Dangerous Scenarios between Vehicles Turning Right and Pedestrians under Left-Hand Traffic

Pedestrian deaths account for the highest percentage of fatality caused by traffic accidents in Japan. Increasing pedestrian safety is a key objective reducing such deaths. For vehicles at low speed, turning vehicle toward right was most common behavior under left-hand traffic. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems have great potential to mitigate injuries and fatalities accidents. However, pedestrian-AEB systems, especially right, are still development. This study identified characteristics dangerous scenarios between pedestrians, focusing on two directions crossing: from left side (Left-Pedestrian) (Right-Pedestrian). The ego recorded near-miss incidents using drive recorder. results revealed that Left-Pedestrian Right-Pedestrian had different features both width roads going through intersection average travel speeds vehicles. They similar terms presence other categories, but differences relationship numbers and/or findings this will contribute development evaluation preventing collisions right-turning pedestrians intersections.
