With cooperation from police department nationwide last year, ITARDA collected data on accidents and conducted investigative research on policies for the prevention of accidents at low speed to the elderly, physically weak, or handicapped pedestrians. These data on fatal accidents to children aged 9 years or younger (hereinafter 'children') occurring at 20 km/h or below (hereinafter, 'low-speed range') clearly reveal that relatives or close associates are often involved. This issue of ITARDA Information introduces accident cases and their characteristics based on data collected under the theme of 'Accidents to children involving relatives or close associates'. ITARDA hopes that it will help family members or others who frequently spend time with children to prevent such accidents. (Author/publisher)
