An Analysis of Driver's Avoiding Maneuver in a Highly Emergency Situation
Résumé
This paper discusses driver’s emergency avoiding behavior while he or she is driving a car in a rural area.Based on behavioral data obtained from an experiment conducted in France with a high-fidelity driving simulator, theauthors analyzed the driver behavior just before the collision. The results showed that the drivers tended to choose a“rational” behavior to avoid the collision by using the available visual cues even though the situation is extremely timecritical, i.e., the time to collision was only approximately 1.5 seconds
