| Summary | The driving task is a continuous series of actions including perception, intellection, emotion and volition. The design and planning of road facilities have to take into account the responses of road users. Conventionally, the characteristics of road users are quantified as perception-reaction time and visual acuity. Psychological and physical factors are clearly important but not well understood. The purpose of this study was to measure drivers’ workloads in scenarios such as parking into different layouts and listening to the music. This study applied mirror frequency, parking time, heart rate, eye blink and subjective rating to measure the workload. For parking layout, the results of ANOVA revealed that experimenters have higher workload as they park into a zero angle layout and listen to the music. Although music brought higher workload, it did not affect parking performance. The difficulty of different parking types could be taken account in parking space planning. |
