Road safety can be improved if traffic accidents can be predicted and thus prevented. The use of driver-related variables to determine the possibility of an accident presents a new analysis paradigm. We used a driving simulator to create a jaywalking scenario and investigated how drivers responded to it. A total of 155 valid participants were identified across demographics (age group and gender) and participated in the experiment. We collected driver-related data on eight types of perception/reaction times, vehicle-control data, accident occurrence data, and maneuvers used for obstacle avoidance. From the statistical analysis, it was possible to derive six variables with significant differences based on whether a traffic accident occurred. Furthermore, we identified the data’s significant difference according to demographics. Artificial intelligence (AI)-classification models were used to predict whether an accident would occur with up to 90.6% accuracy. The data associated with the dangerous scenario obtained in this study were identified to predict the occurrence of traffic accidents.
