Analysis of human's emergency avoiding maneuver while driving a car
Résumé
This paper discusses driver's emergency avoiding behavior while he or she is driving a car. Based on behavioral data obtained from an experiment conducted in France with a high-fidelity driving simulator, we 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 time critical, i.e., the time to collision was only approximately 1.5 seconds.
