Abstract(in English) The number of fall accidents inside of the bus has been regarded as a problem. Passengers those who cannot cope with the swing during acceleration due to the weakening of their muscle strength and sense of balance easily fall over, and be seriously injured in an in-vehicle accident. In particular, such a fall accident is likely to occur at the time of start, so it is necessary to understand the risk of a passenger falling before start and drive accordingly. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method to estimate the passengers’ fall risk from the motion of boarding the bus by using the surveillance camera image inside it. The score of Mini-BESTest is used as the fall risk, passengers with high risk are detected, and the passengers’ score are estimated by machine learning. As experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed method of estimating the fall risk from the boarding motion was confirmed.
