Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We examined driver gap acceptance in turning across the opposite lane at the intersection, with the multiple approaching vehicles situation. Using the simulator with stereo computer graphics and a piece of cut body of a car, the drivers observed the two approaching cars, and then judged whether they turned between the two cars if they had driven really, and whether they could turn if they had ignored safety. If they judged they could turn, they also judged the dangerous rate. We found that (a) accepted gap decreased with increment of velocity of the approaching vehicles, (b) decrement of accepted gap was not explained by the dangerous rate, (c) if the margin for safety was longer than 20m, the drivers might feel it was enough for safety, without comparing it with velocity of the approaching vehicles.
