Analytical Study of Human Errors causing Traffic Accidents from the view point of Consciousness Transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The major human errors that have proven to be key factors in 80 to 90% of all traffic accidents include “distraction,” taking one’s eyes off the road while driving; “inattentiveness,” switching one’s consciousness from driving to other things; and “false perception” causing recognition mistakes in traffic due to visual illusions. To study human errors causing traffic accidents we evaluated evasive reaction time to an outside dangerous event under distraction and tried to analyze accident probability using reaction time, etc. The analysis integrates drivers’ evasive reaction time to dangerous events with variations in driving performance caused by the state transition of driver’s consciousness. Further more we estimate effectiveness of a warning system to the distraction.
