This study has investigated a psychological status of optimal and pleasant driving condition by measuring various physiological signals using SCR(skin conductance response), PPG(peripheral plethysmograph), SKT(skin temperature) and HR(heart rate). The physiological response was measured during various simulated driving conditions. We developed a hardware and algorithm to measure and analyze the physiological response. The physiological signals has reflected the level of driver's tension or relaxation as well as the heart rate. The emotional responses of drivers were also measured and analyzed in this experiment. The result of the study can be used to design a system to enhance the driver's emotional satisfaction as well as to monitor the driver's safety and health condition.

동적 시뮬레이터에서 정속주행(70km/h)과 급출발(0km/h$\longrightarrow$70km/h)및 급제동(70km/h$\longrightarrow$ 0km/h)에 따른 운전자의 심리생리적 반응을 알아보았다. 피험자는 운전경력이 1년 이상인 20대 남자 12명을 대상으로 하였다. 실험결과 주관적인 쾌적감은 급출발에서 가장 높았고 각성감은 정속주행에 비해 급출발과 급제동에서 높았다. 주행시 뇌파는 모든 조건에서 알파파가 안정 상태(정차)일 때보다 감소하였고 베타파는 증가하였다. 피부전기저항은 모든 주행 조건에서 정차에 비해 증가한 반면 피부온도는 낮아졌으며 조건간에는 급출발일 때 피부온도가 더욱 낮았고 피부전기저항은 더 높았다. 이러한 결과로부터 정차, 정속주행에 비해 급출발과 급제동 조건에서 주관적, 생리적 반응의 변화가 현저함을 알 수 있었다.

Road accidents are considered as the result of a complex interplay between road, vehicle, environments, and human factors. Little study, however, has been carried out on the attributes of human factor compared to the road geometric conditions and traffic conditions. The previous researches focused on mainly both traffic and geometric conditions on specific location. Therefore, it's hard to explain phenomenon of the high traffic accident rates where road and traffic conditions are good. Because of these reasons, accident analysis has contributed on geometric improvement and has not contributed on traffic management such as selection of attention section, driver napping alert, etc. The freeway incident management is also associated with reliable prediction of incident occurrences on freeway sections. This paper presents a method for estimating the effect of trip length on freeway accident rate. A PAR (Potential Accident Ratio), the new concept of accident analysis, considering TLFDs (Trip Length Frequency Distributions) is suggested in this paper. This approach can help to strengthen freeway management and to reduce the likelihood of accidents.
