Abstract Streetcar stops in some Japanese cities lack safety barriers, which has led to fatal accidents. As a result, urgent safety measures are required. This study evaluates a safety system using ITS technologies for streetcar stops without safety barriers in Kochi. We conducted a questionnaire survey of car drivers and streetcar users. The safety system made car drivers pay more attention to streetcar users and decreased the level of anxiety among streetcar users. To avoid conflicts between cars and streetcar users at the streetcar stops, boarding and alighting from right-side doors with a self-service fare collection system was also investigated.
