While elderly people's population increases, the elderly people who use a cane are increasing in number. On the other hand, the traffic accident of the elderly people who use a cane for night is increasing rapidly. The cause of accidents is on the point that the elderly people who use a cane cannot be recognized. The objective of this study is development of the LED mounting cane for contact accident prevention. In this study, we investigate the desirable blink conditions of LED with high visibility experimentally. We could find blink conditions of LED which is easy to recognize to be a cane user. And the cane which blinks LED according to a crutch-walking person's walk aspect was developed.
