| Abstract(in English) | Human behavior might change toward a riskier direction when he/she perceive less risk after introduction of a safety technology. The mechanism behind this risk compensation behavior was modeled by Wilde in his "Theory of Risk Homeostasis". Wilde claims that a driver adjusts his/her behavior so that the level of perceived risk becomes equal to his/her target level of risk. The Theory is still controversial but some degree of risk compensation will be caused by most automotive safety technologies. Therefore, when you develop or introduce any automotive safety technology, you should pursue a "net safety improvement" produced by the interaction between human behavior and the technology,. |
