As an application of a VR technology for a traffic safety, we developed the walking environment simulator system that combined a motion capture system and treadmill. Using this simulator, the human factor related to elder pedestrian traffic accidents was examined. As a result, traffic accidents of elder people occurred frequently in a far side lane. Most of subjects involved in a traffic accident cut across the narrow space of the distance between two cars in a far side lane. These results show that the decline of the cognitive function of an approach speed will be one of the risk factor of traffic accident.
