In this study, the roads currently being designed through driving simulator and 3D graphics in virtual reality are reproduced. The study found out the driver's characteristics in regards to the road geometric characteristics based on data collected through the driving simulator. Furthermore, visual angle data through Eye Camera (Face Lab) test have been obtained and are examined closely on its characteristics. Lastly, it is possible to measure image factors that drivers can feel while driving in road designing level. Therefore, this study set up a road safety model based on geometric characteristics' image data collected through the driving simulator. It closely examined factors affecting the safety of drivers according to the changes in road geometric characteristics. The study presented the method to evaluate the safety of road in the designing level.
