Abstract

Cellular Phone use while driving is one of the critical causes of traffic accident by falling the driver into the improper lookout and inattention situations by disturbing the driving behaviors and by increasing the driver's mental workloads. These days, therefore, governments in many countries are trying to Prohibit the cellular Phone use while driving by the law focused on the hand-held type of cellular phone. This Paper investigated the impacts on the hands-free cellular Phone use while driving to the drivers Performance among normal and two different level of secondary task driving conditions in the urban of Japan. As the results, quantitative differences of drivers eye movement, subjective mental workload, steering wheel angle entropy, and cognitive Performance of secondary tasks were compared between straight and curve (right turn) section for each driving condition.

근래 폭발적인 휴대폰 사용자의 증가와 비례한 운전 중 휴대폰 사용에 의한 교통사고 빈도 및 상해정도의 증가는 운전 중 휴대폰 사용을 새로운 주요한 교통사고의 요인으로 떠오르게 하고 있다. 이는 휴대폰 사용에 의한 운전자의 조정 및 감시, 경계 행위의 방해, 인지 및 정신적 부하의 증가에 의한 '부적합한 경계 (improper lookout)'와 '부주의 (inattention)' 상태 발생에서 유발되며, 현재 많은 국가들이 법제정을 통한 운전 중 휴대 폰 사용금지를 실행중이거나 고려하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 현재 대부분의 국가에서 실질적 규제 대상에서 제외되어 있는 운전 중 핸드프리 휴대폰의 사용이 운전자의 부하 및 수행도에 미치는 영향을 시각분석 정신적 부하, 부가작업 수행도, 스티어링 엔트로피의 측정을 통하여 실시하였다. 실험은 일본 도시 중심부에서 실시되었으며, 결과는 부가작업의 형태에 따른 4가지의 실험상황과 시험구간의 직선부와 곡선부 (우회전) 사이의 비교분석 통하여 제시하였다. 또한, 실험설계, 적용평가방법, 및 실시과정에서의 문제점을 바탕으로 핸드폰관련 실제 도로시험을 위한 가이드라인을 제시한다.
