Fitness level security

Under physiological safety refers to the physical and mental ability of motorists or -fahrerinnen to drive the vehicle safely for the duration of the trip. This ability is influenced by social and physical environmental factors. The correct and ergonomic design of a vehicle can help ensure that these environmental factors have a positive effect on fitness levels and that the driver remains alert and motivated.

Environmental factors

The physical environmental factors on fitness security include:

lighting
Sound and mechanical vibrations
climate
odor

Increasing physical fitness is part of vehicle safety , but it can also be applied to other technical systems. Relatively simple systems such as comfortable seats, adequate ventilation or the presence of heating can contribute to fitness security - not a matter of course until the 1950s. These simple systems can be optimized through "massage functions" in ergonomically shaped seats, draft-free ventilation and automatic air conditioning with separately controllable climate zones. Since 2005, highly complex systems such as B. a high-speed distance control assistant or an attention assistant application.

Examination of fitness security

The focus of the investigation on fitness security relate to a. Stress-strain analyzes including biopsychological effort diagnostics as well as investigations of the regulation of actions on several levels with task-analytical and psychophysiological indicators . It can also be examined inter-individually and intra-individually acting stressors as well as activation, recovery or deactivation and reset processes in order to z. B. to be able to deliver even better models of driver and passenger behavior in the future or to be able to assess the effects of new assistance systems. To this end, test methods and measurement parameters are developed or adapted that allow the driver's stress to be assessed in order to be able to derive appropriate conclusions for the vehicle design and forms of information presentation.
