Traffic accidents among children have been decreasing after the installation of yellow carpets. However, the explanatory power of the causal relationship between yellow carpet installation and traffic accidents is still insufficient. The yellow carpet effect was analyzed in greater depth using virtual reality (VR) simulation experiments in various situation that could not be evaluated in existing actual vehicle research studies due to difficulties or risks in implementation. A target site where an actual yellow carpet was installed was selected and, implemented into a virtual environment. Subjects were made to, were gaze measurement equipment and ride the simulator. The visual/driving behavior before and after yellow carpet installation was compared, and a t-test analysis was performed for statistical verification. All the results were found to be statistically significant.

옐로카펫 보급된 이후 어린이 교통사고는 감소세이나 아직 옐로카펫 설치와 교통사고간의 인과관계에 대한 설명력은 부족한 상황이다. 기존의 실차조사연구에서 상황 구현의 어려움이 나 위험성 등의 이유로 수행하지 못한 다양한 상황을 VR시뮬레이션 실험을 활용하여 옐로카 펫 효과를 더욱 심도있게 분석하였다. 실제 옐로카펫이 설치되어있는 대상지를 선정하고, 가상 환경으로 구현한 후 시선측정장비를 착용하고 시뮬레이터에 탑승하도록 하였다. 옐로카펫 설 치 전·후의 시각/주행행태를 비교하였고, 통계적 검증을 위해 t-test 분석을 수행, 모두 통계적으 로 유의한 수준인 것으로 나타났다
