ABOUT INFLUENCE OF THE DRIVER'S TEMPERAMENT ON THE TIME OF HIS REACTION IN THE ROAD JAM

Journal Title: Комунальне господарство міст - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 140

Abstract

The driver's activity in the transport system is dynamic and requires constant stress and readiness for any changes in the environment. The change in the functional state of drivers in conditions of intensive urban traffic and as a result of being in a traffic jam depends on the driver's temperament and leads to change in the time of his reaction, on which road safety depends. The change in the reaction time of the driver in the mash is largely due to his initial condition and age. Drivers with different temperaments react differently to the length of traffic jams. The duration of the traffic congestion directly proportional increases the reaction time of the driver for all types of nervous system. The choleric are more sensitive, less - sanguine, much less melancholic and phlegmatic. The age of the driver does not significantly increase the time of his reaction. At the same time, the functional state of the driver preceding the congestion has a significant effect on the reaction time. So, when entering traffic jam with a significant level of fatigue the driver can "rest" from 3 to 9 minutes of congestion. In the future, the reaction time increases. This is to varying degrees inherent in all types of nervous system of drivers of all ages.
