Analysis of Driver's Situational Awareness State Under Self-explaining Design of Tunnel Environment
In order to explore the situational awareness state of drivers under the self-explaining design of different tunnel environments,starting from the multi-dimensional environmental characteristics of expressway tunnels,the tunnel is divided into variable sections,transition sections and invariant sections.Through analyzing the situational awareness state and schematic relationships of drivers in each functional section,a predictive model of situational awareness level is established.And 3D Max software is used to construct a simulation experiment scene,by selecting 15 drivers to carry out driving simulation experiments under different tunnel environment self-explaining design scenarios.Using eye trackers,electrocardiographs,etc,the driver's physiological,psychological,and vehicle operating status data are collected,and the predicted values of driver's situational awareness level are calculated for each scheme.Finally,the scheme in the experimental group that best fits the driver's situational awareness is obtained.The research results show that the scheme with the highest level of situational awareness of drivers in the gradient group is slope pattern tilted+yellow gradient color road surface+blue-white rhythm side wall,which increases the predicted value of situational awareness level by 1.181 times compared with the ordinary tunnel scene;The scheme with the highest level of situational awareness among drivers in the group is slope pattern slope+longitudinal marking color road+blue-white rhythm side wall,which increases the predicted value of situational awareness level by 1.256 times compared with the ordinary tunnel scene.The situational awareness schema and prediction model for tunnel drivers can provide technical reference for future self-explaining design of tunnel environments.
