PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS OF VEHICLE DRIVERS UNDER LONG DISTANCE DRIVING

Human performances while driving of both skilled and unskilled drivers between 22-24 years of age, are investigated on the three different kinds of road conditions such as high-speed automobile test course, a common road and highway. Results show the difference due to the degree of skill in driving with such physiological parameters as pulse level and CFF. The external driving environment and the driving hours are also important.
