Spiral tunnel driving and cognitive load: An eye-tracking investigation into tunnel geometry and traversal effects
Optimizing tunnel design is crucial to minimizing cognitive demands on drivers. Shorter and wider tunnels are recommended, and design features such as enhanced lighting and improved signage should be considered to mitigate the additional cognitive load of uphill driving. These findings have significant implications for enhancing driver safety and performance in spiral tunnels.
