Abstract:

The road environment can directly or indirectly affect the driver's heart rate so that it affects drivers' behavioral responses.The mountain road has several complicate features including many route bents,long slopes,steep roads,high drops and short distance of sight,which often cause traffic accidents.This paper uses the graphical Biomedical engineering experiment platform to collect drivers' heart rate data and analyzes its variability and growth rate combining with medicine and psychology theory.The result shows that there are differences in the physiological indicators of drivers who drive in different mountain road environments under the identical experimental conditions.The study is of conductive significance for the alignment design of the mountain roads.This experimental platform is easy in operation and has powerful analysis functions.It can also acquire real-time effective signal and the collecting data are precise.
