- Abstract
Due to the rapid climate change, drivers are now more likely to drive in severe weather conditions than before. In bad weather, drivers have no option but to cope with a very unusual environment, increasing the likelihood that an accident will transpire. Therefore, it is important to find ways to operate vehicle systems more easily and safely during bad weather. In this study, we investigated 6 in-vehicle activities generally performed by drivers by evaluating their discomfort level under three different weather conditions: foggy, rainy, and sunny. For the quantitative assessment, the drivers' physiological, eye-gaze, in-vehicle equipment control, and vehicle control data were measured. For the qualitative assessment, the driver's... (More)
Due to the rapid climate change, drivers are now more likely to drive in severe weather conditions than before. In bad weather, drivers have no option but to cope with a very unusual environment, increasing the likelihood that an accident will transpire. Therefore, it is important to find ways to operate vehicle systems more easily and safely during bad weather. In this study, we investigated 6 in-vehicle activities generally performed by drivers by evaluating their discomfort level under three different weather conditions: foggy, rainy, and sunny. For the quantitative assessment, the drivers' physiological, eye-gaze, in-vehicle equipment control, and vehicle control data were measured. For the qualitative assessment, the driver's discomfort was measured using the semantic differential method. The results showed that non-driving tasks were found to be the least comfortable activities during all three weather conditions. On the other hand, driving-related tasks were found to be carried out more comfortably in good weather than in bad weather.
