Relationship between Subjective Driving-Stress and Multiple Physiological Indicators in Driving Experiment

Abstract

This study analyzes subjective driving-stress to assess road structure and traffic condition. Six drivers put on the sensors which can measure biological indicators (i.e. brain blood flow, heartbeat, respiration, temperature, mental sweating) and drove several times a predefined route in Nagoya city. Participants reported their stress points where they felt subjectively. We examine the relationship of subjective driving-stress and physiological indicators by structural equation model.
