Abstract

In Japan, where vehicles travel on the left side of the road (i.e., right turns correspond to left turns in the U.S.), right turns have the potential to give heavy workload to drivers at an intersection. There is a need to support driver decisions by data transmission in pedestrian-to-vehicle communication. We conducted a field experiment at an experimental intersection to show the data transmission performance of a DSRC (5.8 GHz) pedestrian-vehicle communication system to avoid conflict between right-turning vehicle and walking pedestrians. The study found that right-turning vehicles were able to communicate with pedestrians at their preferred positions via a compact IVC device. The compact IVC device was able to alert pedestrians to the presence of right-turning vehicles, which have higher risk at the conflict point.
