Abstract
The road traffic accidents often occur when one or several links are imbalanced in the dynamic system, which comprises persons, cars, roads and environment. As a special natural phenomenon, sunlight glare makes drivers discomfort. Acting on drivers' eyes, sunlight glare changes drivers' visual condition and affects drivers' judgment on traffic environment. In this paper, the applicability of drivers' psychophysiological indexes under the sunlight glare condition was analyzed. The indexes include heart rate, skin temperature, galvanic skin response andrespiration. By use of multi-channel psychophysiological instrument, a lot of practical experiments have been made on roadway. The impact on drivers' psychophysiological indexes generated by sunlight glare was also analyzed. In the end, some quantitative models of drivers' psychophysiological characteristics under the influence of sunlight glare were built with the regression analysis and numerical fitting method.
