Abstract

In this study, psychological assessment was carried out to investigate the driver's psychological characteristics by the change of the headlight. The participants were 20 men and 20 women in their 20s and thirty-two different conditions in combinations of waveform of light, voltage, and alteration time were used. The questionnaire for the assessment was evaluated by 8 subjective items and 5-point SD criteria of 19 pair's adjective. The results were as follows. 1. The assessment results from SD method indicated 3 factors by factor analysis, and it was shown that A waveform had significances in a sense of security and impetus and B waveform had a significance in a sense of security The levels of the limitations for the voltage change were 12V in the factor of a sense of security and 11V in the factor of a sense of impetus for A waveform, 12.6V in the factor of a sense of security for B waveform. 2. The results of the subjective assessment showed that the limitation of A waveform's brightness change was 12V. Moreover, the limitations of voltage changes were 12.6V for B waveform brightness change, 12V for discomfort, 12.6V for darkness. And the limitation of C waveform's brightness change was 12V.
