In this section, we examine traffic engineering related to traffic regulations, traffic signal control and managing road safety facilities and equipment that is undertaken to reduce traffic accidents, congestion, pollution and other issues stemming from road transportation.
Field Survey of Traffic Flow Using a Video Camera to Examine Effective Traffic Regulations
Dangerous behaviors of pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers are investigated using video cameras and questionnaire surveys to prepare effective regulatory implements for reducing such behavior.
Experiment Elucidating Driving Behavior under Various Road Traffic Conditions
Factors affecting road conditions such as adverse weather, darkness, and road safety facilities and their consequent influences on traffic behavior are investigated experimentally. Traffic regulations and facilities that match human characteristics are addressed.
