Therefore, most countries around the world develop intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to resolve these problems. ITS applies information technology and communication networks to assist drivers for a safer and more efficient travel. Many driving simulator systems have been constructed worldwide in recent years. The application of driving simulator systems leads to the building of an analysis platform to evaluate ITS. The driving simulator systems not only help drivers from a fundamental perspective of traffic safety, but also help to practice ITS environment. As for these concerns, this study aims to the main causes of accidents in Taiwan to develop suitable warning systems on board (overspeed, obstacle, collision, car-following). This study understands drivers’ action by applying driving simulator systems and investigates drivers’ perception by questionnaires. It is expected to integrate subjective and objective perspectives to establish the suitable products of warning systems. The experimental results show the information provided by warning systems is needed and different types of warning don’t influence drivers obviously. Besides, the results of questionnaires show the purchasing intentions increase. This means the drivers understand the efficiency of warning systems after simulation experiments. In the near future driving simulator systems will be ready to help manufacture the suitable warning systems in Taiwan to enhance traffic safety.
