| Abstract |
Developed countries are trying to form good driving habits through education and strict management policies that allow novice drivers to adapt to various road environments during their early driving period, but our country is only focusing on strengthening the driver's license test. In addition, even if they obtain a driver's license, there are not many drivers who drive right away, so it is difficult to accurately understand the scale and accident characteristics of novice drivers. This study analyzed the accident characteristics of novice drivers based on their starting driving experience using insurance subscription history data. In addition, the characteristics of gaze changes during driving of novice drivers were derived using an eye tracker. The research results can be briefly summarized into three points as follows. First, the accident characteristics of novice drivers are very high at 29.7 % in the first year of insurance subscription, and side collisions
and rear-end collisions occur frequently. Second, according to the survey results for beginner drivers, they had difficulty driving in places that require driver judgment, such as unprotected left turns and back roads. Third, the results of the Eye Tracker experiment showed that novice drivers only looked forward while driving, and their field of vision was 18 degrees, which is one-fifth of that of experienced drivers. Therefore, for beginner drivers, it is necessary to reinforce education on how to widen the left and right field of vision while driving and education on the right of way when there is no signal. |
