Влияние времени реакции водителя на безопасность дорожного движения

Abstract

This article presents a methodology of examination of psychophysiological characteristics of traffic participants by applying of special technical equipment, which allows us to evaluate such characteristics as reaction time, evaluation of distance and speed and other characteristics. The article describes goals of test research, technical and psychophysiological conditions, ways of results calculations, estimation and interpretation, statistical peculiarities of tests, reliability and validity. According to the created methodology there are being examined dependences of traffic participants’ reaction time and their ability of spatial visibility on the alcohol concentration in the biological environment. It is diagnosed that increasing alcohol concentration in the biological environment doesn’t affect ordinary reactions of traffic participants, however complex reaction time increases significantly. Due to alcohol worsens these psychophysiological characteristics of traffic participants: conception of real situation, contemplation and ability of taking right decisions.
