Abstract
In this study, based on the measurement of brain activity and the change of accelerator and brake stroke, we tried to grasp the interaction between the driver’s reaction and the driver’s following behavior at the time when driver watched VMS during actual car driving. Specifically, using fNIRS, we analyzed same driver’s brain activity and driving behavior during actual car driving, and then we evaluated the interaction of both items. As a result, we confirmed that PAC and PFA activated in the case of driving with cognition and judgment for the information which a driver collected from the environment while driving. Then it was suggested that it was needed to expand PAC in order to measure the brain activity. Furthermore, it was suggested that both on and off throttle stroke were connected with the activity of prefrontal area. As a result, it was suggested that it was valid to confirm the driver’s reaction at every steps, such as “cognition”, “judgment”, “behavior”, by means of being approached from a neuroscience.
