Contribution of the IATSS research projects to disseminating modern roundabouts in Japan
Until early 2000s, modern roundabouts (RABs) were poorly understood in Japan and were not fully recognized as a form of at-grade intersections. The RAB research projects of the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS), which began in 2009, started with examining the applicability of RABs in Japan and have steadily progressed to various stages of field experiments, social implementation, and dissemination promotion activities. These RAB research projects, which lasted for approximately seven years, are considered to have played a significant role in the practical application of RAB in Japan. This paper provides a chronological overview of the history, content, and development status of these projects and records and discusses the role that IATSS research projects played in the early days of RABs in Japan.
期刊介绍:
First published in 1977 as an international journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences, IATSS Research has contributed to the dissemination of interdisciplinary wisdom on ideal mobility, particularly in Asia. IATSS Research is an international refereed journal providing a platform for the exchange of scientific findings on transportation and safety across a wide range of academic fields, with particular emphasis on the links between scientific findings and practice in society and cultural contexts. IATSS Research welcomes submission of original research articles and reviews that satisfy the following conditions: 1.Relevant to transportation and safety, and the multiple impacts of transportation systems on security, human health, and the environment. 2.Contains important policy and practical implications based on scientific evidence in the applicable academic field. In addition to welcoming general submissions, IATSS Research occasionally plans and publishes special feature sections and special issues composed of invited articles addressing specific topics.
