Description
Summary:碩士 === 國防大學管理學院 === 運籌管理學系 === 98 === A driving simulator was used to evaluate the EEG (α,β,γ,θ) and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) of drivers at different weather (rain, sunny, fog)and road (suburb 1, town, suburb 2) conditions in which a road construction occurred (pre and at). Six male and six female volunteers were recruited, and a method of Nested-Factorial design was employed. Analysis of EEG and heart rate variability, independent variables are weather, road condition and construc-tion. The results indicated that female in the sunny-suburbs-2 condition had higher LF/HF than male had when encountering the road construction. Male LF% in town is higher than female. Powers of female θ and α wave of left fron-tal in both the fog-town and the sunny-suburb-2 conditions were higher, but there was no significant difference in males. Because there seems to be more pressure when female encounter road construction, increase training should pre-vent car accident effectively. Furthermore, we can perhaps study the changes in θ and α wave of left frontal to associate with different type of car accidents.
