Overview of the business
By utilizing the creative and academic research results of university researchers in the policies and projects of Kyoto City, we aim to return the knowledge of university research to the local community and society. Researchers and the departments in charge of Kyoto City have been collaborating on research since the planning stage, and we aim to form a network based on the surveys and research of this project by holding report meetings on the results of this research and holding exchange meetings between researchers and citizens, city officials, students, etc.
This project ended in fiscal 2015.

Designated Project 2: Research on the Utilization of Perceptual Psychology in Improving the Riding Environment of Bicycles
| Theme | A Study on the Utilization of Perceptual Psychology in Improving the Riding Environment of Bicycles |
| Principal Investigator | Akika Kitaoka (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Ritsumeikan University) |
| Research Outline | (Purpose of the research) In order to alleviate the fear of cycling on the roadway and to guide the bicycle in a natural way by obeying traffic rules, such as preventing reverse direction driving and observing stops, we conduct design development research using the methods of perceptual psychology (optical illusion, trompe l'oeil, etc.) and cognitive psychology. (Research content) (1) In order to prevent reverse direction driving, we have developed a design that can be recognized as reverse direction driving at a glance when driving in the wrong direction, and present it on the road surface or in an appropriate place. (2) In order to promote stops, we have developed an image hump from the perspective of a bicycle and installed it just before a stop or in an appropriate place. (3) To reduce the fear of driving on the roadway, Immediately recognized by automobile drivers that part of the roadway was used for bicycles, and developed and installed a design that discourages entry. |

Achievement report meeting and exchange meeting
In addition to holding a report meeting to widely disseminate and share the results of the five surveys and research projects adopted in fiscal 2015, the following exchange meetings were held to promote exchanges between researchers beyond the boundaries of universities and laboratories and between researchers and citizens, students, administrative officials, etc.
At the report meeting, each researcher reported the results of their surveys and research with enthusiasm.
At the exchange meeting that followed, the history of this project over the past five years was reviewed, and then a variety of participants, including researchers, civil servants, students, and NPOs, went beyond the framework of their research themes and talked openly.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
