Abstract:
In this research, typical vehicles (cars and trucks) were chosen for real-vehicle testing with a random sample of 27 drivers. Also, pieces of equipment were employed for real-time measurements of vehicle speed and changing indexes of physiology and psychology. Through analyzing the data of different drivers measured on various combined alignment, the orderliness of driver workload degree was obtained. The change of driver workload degree induced by road alignment was ahead of the change of the expressway alignment, which implied drivers' adaptation characteristics, cognition and judgment in response to the changing alignment. In addition, authors classified the standard of various combined alignment section on expressway according to the orderliness. Research results can provide reference for the road design and traffic facility layout as well as expressway operation and management.
