This study highlights the theme of human error of train drivers, conducting empirical analysis on the relationship between emergency stress, psychological fatigue, safety behavior, and accident. The hypothetical test results based on questionnaires received from 223 train drivers working at A subway firm indicate that emergency stress shows a significant positive effect on psychological fatigue, which in turn shows a significant negative influence on safety behavior. And safety behavior is shown having a significant negative relationship with accident. These results suggest the necessity of corporate-level approaches to depict the drastic causes of drivers’ emergency stress, and to effectively manage this stress, as well as the necessity of making effort to enhance safety behavior, and to prevent or reduce accidents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate drivers' postures in different car pedal systems and skilled levels under fatigue. Twenty four subjects participated in this experiment. For three-dimensional analyses, six cameras (Proreflex MCU-240, Qualisys) were used to acquire raw data. The parameters were calculated and analyzed with Visual-3D. In conclusion, ROAs of two leg-pedal system were less than one leg pedal system by pattern analysis. Through statistical tests, skilled levels have effects on ROAs(X, Y, Z) of ankle joint at breaking a pedal and ROAs(Y, Z) of ankle joint at accelerating a pedal. Also, car pedal systems have effects on ROAs(Y, Z) of ankle joint, and ROA(Z) of knee joint at accelerating a pedal. In addition, skilled levels and car pedal systems (cross effects) have an effect on ROA(Z) of ankle joint. These findings suggested that we should improve a present single pedal system.

본 연구에서는 운전자의 피로감을 경감시킬 수 있는 자동차용 향 분사 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 향 분사시스템의 운전자 적응 특성을 분석하였다. 향 분사 시스템은 휘발된 향을 산소 (공기)와 혼합시켜 외부로 분사하는 방식을 이용하였다. 8051 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 2-Port Solenoid Valve의 on/off 시간을 변경 가능하도록 하였고 이를 통해 향 분사량을 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 평균나이 22±2세인 남녀 대학생 20명을 대상으로 네 가지 천연 향 (쟈스민 30%, 쟈스민 50%, 페파민트 30%, 페파민트 50%)을 사용하여 향의 적응화가 발생하는 시간과 향에 대한 적응화가 제거되는 시간을 결정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 쟈스민 30% 향의 적응화 발생시간은 1분 28초, 적응화 제거시간은 3분 15초, 쟈스민 50% 향의 적응화 발생시간은 2분 41초, 적응화 제거시간은 4분 3초, 페파민트 30% 향의 적응화 발생시간은 1분 47초, 적응화 제거시간은 2분 59초, 페파민트 50% 향의 적응화 발생시간은 1분 58초, 적응화 제거시간은 4분 11초였다.
