Abstract

Road traffic accidents are among the top 10 causes of death globally. With regard to potential accidents, if driver reaction time (RT) can be reduced, drivers would have more time to assess the situation and take appropriate action to avoid the accident. As natural elements in the environment can restore human attention, we conducted a random controlled trial to test the effects of road greenness on driver attention and RT. A driving simulator was employed to simulate highways with five road greening doses. During the simulation, an emergency incident was designed and video-displayed, and driver RT in the context of that situation was recorded. A total of 144 participants were recruited. The results revealed that with increased dose of road greening, driver attention level increased. In addition, a higher dose of greening resulted in a shorter RT during an emergency incident.

绿化与安全:道路绿化对驾驶员注意力和应急反应时间的影响
道路交通事故是全球十大死亡原因之一。对于潜在的事故,如果能够减少驾驶员的反应时间,驾驶员将有更多的时间来评估情况并采取适当的行动来避免事故。由于环境中的自然元素可以恢复人类的注意力,我们进行了一项随机对照试验,以测试道路绿化对驾驶员注意力和RT的影响。使用驾驶模拟器模拟了五种道路绿化剂量的高速公路。在模拟过程中,设计了一个紧急事件并显示了视频,并记录了该情况下的驾驶员RT。共招募了144名参与者。结果表明,随着道路绿化剂量的增加,驾驶员的注意力水平也有所提高。此外,在紧急事件中,较高剂量的绿化会缩短RT。
