2.TARGET
“We’ll reduce the number of deaths in traffic accidents to below 2,500 by 2018 and make Japan a country of highest traffic safety in the world. “(January 2010, the Minister of State for Special Mission)
“We’ll reduce the number of deaths within 24 hours to below 3 000 by 2015 aiming at eventually building a society with no traffic accidents. “(March 2011, Ninth Fundamental Traffic Safety Program)

Composition rate in pedestrian-vehicle accident according to dangerous acknowledgment speed (2008)
In pedestrian-vehicle accidents, the rate of death significantly increases after the hazard recognition speed exceeds 30 km/h.

4.TASKS AHEAD
Enhance pedestrian protection regulations for motor vehicles
Study the development and promotion of preventive safety technologies (Advanced emergency braking system(AEBS), intelligent speed adaptation (ISA), etc.) to prevent accidents and sufficiently reduce collision speed.
(2) Prevent Involvements and Reduce Damage of Pedestrians and Cyclists
14
4.TASKS AHEAD
With increasing environmental awareness, hybrid and electric vehicles are rapidly spreading.
Lithium ion storage battery for automobile
Workshop concerning quietness of hybrid vehicles
(3) Respond to Needs for New Mobility
We need to establish technical regulations on lithium-ion batteries and quietness of these vehicles while running.
15
4.TASKS AHEAD
There is increasing interest in ultra-micro mobility as response to various needs such as increasing environmental awareness and mobility for the elderly.
(3) Respond to Needs for New Mobility
16
Two-seater ultra-micro mobilities cannot be provided with the same level of collision safety as other vehicles. If they run in the same manner as other vehicles in the general traffic environment and meet accidents, passengers may get severely damaged.
4.TASKS AHEAD
(3) Respond to Needs for New Mobility
17
However, we think that these ultra-micro mobilities offer features, advantages, and use of their own, just as motorcycles and currently used micro cars (of 50 cc or less) do. We find it appropriate to establish safety standards suited to the size and use of these vehicles; specifically, to study and develop standards on safety and driving performance, such as stability, based on the existing standards for micro cars.
Based on the above, we need to check the impact of their running public roads by demonstration experiments and study desirable fields of use, desired performance, etc.
4.TASKS AHEAD
(3) Respond to Needs for New Mobility
As for mobility assistance robots, firstly we need to check its acceptance by traffic community. We will keep studying this question based on the results of the demonstration experiments to be conducted in experimental zones starting 2011.

High rate of death, heavy damage once caused
Accidents involving large-sized vehicles are not many, but, once caused, they entail heavy damage.
Death rates by type of vehicle involved (Primary party) in 2010
(4)Prevent Serious Accidents Involving Large-Sized Vehicles
19
4.TASKS AHEAD
(4)Prevent Serious Accidents Involving Large-Sized Vehicles
Enhance support for or make mandatory the introduction of preventive safety technologies (AEBS, wobble-driving warning system, lane departure warning system (LDWS), etc.) into commercial vehicles.
As to diseases that might suddenly strike and disable the driver from keeping driving, study technologies that bring the vehicles to a stop safely even if the driver has been attacked by such a disease, especially for vehicles carrying many passengers such as buses, and heavy-duty trucks and cranes, etc.
20
5. OTHERS
To develop and spread preventive safety technologies and implement measures for the elderly, it is essential to study traffic accidents more in detail and clarify mechanisms of injury upon accident, driving and walking behaviors of the elderly, etc.
(1) Enhance Accident Studies
Develop a system of collection and analysis of data that enables us to make the best use of drive recorders and event data recorders (EDR) providing detailed information on accident.
In coordination with medical institutions, collect data on injury in accidents and emergency medical care.
Share data among parties concerned and develop detailed vehicle safety measures based on the results of analysis of such data.
21
5. OTHERS
Preventive safety technologies are effective in reducing damage from traffic accidents, but drivers may depend too much on these technologies and fail to check safety themselves or go beyond the limits of their ability while driving.
(2)Study How a Driver Assistance System Should be
Hold comprehensive discussion and sort out opinions on the level of technical regulations, findings on drivers’ situations, design of driver assistance systems, etc., including legal issues.
Make aggressive efforts to let the functions and use of preventive safety technologies well known to automobile users.
22
6. SETTING A NUMERICAL TARGET
Based on the governmental target for 2018, we have set a target of reducing the number of victims by about one third measures.
Reduce the number of traffic deaths (within 30 days) by 1,000 by 2020 (from the 2010 level)
