Abstract
There is a tendency that drivers do not usually use optimal strategy in imminent intersection conflicts. Drivers usually swerve to the same direction as the obstacle, which sometimes results in accidents. In this paper, driving simulation experiments were conducted focusing on drivers’ reaction—especially, the swerving behavior—in critical intersection situations. The influences of incursion side and obstacle velocity were examined during the experiments. The results proved the existence of drivers’ same-direction-pattern (SDP) swerving maneuver, as the proportion of same-direction-swerving (SDS) was tremendously higher than what it should be in both left- and right incursion situations. The work serves as a foundation for further research on accident causation and Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) development.
