Abstract EN
Drinking driving is responsible for a high proportion of traffic accidents.
To study the effects of alcohol on drivers and driving performance, 25 drivers’ subjective feelings and driving performance data in different blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) levels were collected with simulated driving experiment.
The investigation results revealed that alcohol affected drivers in many aspects, including attitude, judgment, vigilance, perception, reaction, and controlling.
The analysis of accident rate showed that higher BAC level would lead to higher accident rate.
The statistical analysis results of driving performance indicated that average speed, speed standard deviation, and lane position standard deviation were significantly higher under the influence of alcohol.
They also had a statistically significant linear trend as the function of BAC level.
The discrimination of drinking driving based on driving performance was performed with Fisher discrimination method.
The results showed that drinking driving with higher BAC level was easier to discriminate from normal driving.
Also, the results indicated that the three significant indicators on straight roadway could be used in the discrimination of drinking driving state.
The conclusions can provide references for the study of drinking driving and the identification of driving state and then contribute to traffic safety.
