Abstract
Based on the intent and operation of drivers, pedestrian collision can be divided into accidental and intentional vehicle ramming collisions. Compared to accidental cases in which the drivers are not able to avoid the collision successfully, intentional collisions are more dangerous for pedestrians. However, there is a lack of researches on judging intentional pedestrian collisions based on the statistical characteristics of the driver’s collision avoidance behavior. Therefore, in order to analyze and define the deliberate collisions behavior of drivers, a special driving simulation scenario was designed for driving simulation experiments of pedestrian collision avoidance in emergency situations. To provide a criterion for judging deliberate ramming behavior, the driver’s normal operations for collision avoidance, including reaction time and specific crash avoidance behavior characteristics, under the sudden intrusion of pedestrian conditions was analyzed. This study provides a reference for the verdict of intentional pedestrian collision.
