Currently, safety inducement and identification of
emergency escape and escape area in highway long tunnel are poor, which
increases traffic safety risk and affects escape efficiency. The tunnel
sidewall is lightly coated, and a new wall marking technology to strengthen
safety warning induction of emergency escape area is proposed. The design parameters
of wall markings satisfying the visual recognition of drivers under dynamic
driving conditions are obtained. The field application of wall markers is
implemented in pedestrian crossing and emergency parking belt of the Yanglushan
tunnel, and ten drivers are selected for real vehicle test. The driver′s
gaze index data are obtained by using eye tracking instrument, and the effect
of wall markers is evaluated based on the entropy of gaze and the
characteristics of gaze transfer. The results show that when driving in the
tunnel with wall markings: (1) The driver has a wider distribution of fixation
points, a more average distribution of attention to each area, and a higher
driving safety. (2) The driver pays more attention to the far and sidewall
areas of the road, and the induction warning effect is better, which helps to
improve the emergency escape efficiency.
