音楽刺激が単路走行中のドライバの反応時間に与える影響に関する一考察

抄録

This paper discusses the effect of music on reaction time as driving monotonous environment road. The major causes of rear-end collision are a decrease in concentration and alertness. To keep awake condition, some drivers are listening to music in the car. In this study, we analyze the actual accidents that occurred in Koriyama City, Fukushima prefecture, and examine the cause of rear-end collisions from the surrounding environment. On a road with a monotonous environment, the driver's concentration and arousal level decrease. Music as background music can be considered one of the methods to maintain a proper level of arousal during driving. The reaction time when listening to music is measured experimentally and compared with the reaction time when there is no music. We examine whether music is effective as a means of maintaining arousal when driving on a monotonous road.
