Jiaao Dong, Masaki Hirota , Takumi Nomura, Junya Sato, Title: Analysis of crossing collision accident characteristics by accident party, International Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems Research, 10.1007/s13177-020-00235-0, 2020.10, This paper shows the characteristics of crossing collision accident by accident party. As Fukuoka Prefecture has the third most accidents in Japan, we selected Hakata and Chuo Ward in Fukuoka city as the target of the investigation. We investigated 1,810 crossing collision accidents and 2,662 intersections' environmental factors such as traffic lights and intersection shape. In addition, we classified the accidents into car to car accidents and car to bicycle accidents according to the type of accident parties involved. Characteristics of car to car accidents tending to occur at crossroads and car to car accidents occurring regardless of the traffic regulations have been clarified..
2. Takumi Nomura, Masaki Hirota, Junya Sato, Evaluation of the Driver Visibility Affecting the Occurrence of Crossing Accidents, International Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems Research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13177-020-00249-8, 2021.02, [URL], This research aims to clarify the influence of driver visibility on the crossing accidents. We investigated 1,101 accidents happened in the 621 intersections of in Hakata-ku ward, Fukuoka-city from 2015 to 2017. We calculated yearly accident rate at each intersection based on the accidents data and evaluated driver visibility with surveyed intersections information. It was found that the accident rate was high when the visibility was bad regardless of the number of lanes on the secondary road at the location where many accidents occurred, and the accident rate was high when the number of lanes on the secondary road was low throughout Hakata Ward..
