Relationship between features of unevenness on side of passage and mental stress of pedestrians

Abstract

This thesis investigates the mental stress of unevenness caused by pillars, doors and intersections in the passage, by the experiment using electrodermal activity measuring and virtual reality technology. First result is that there is no difference in magnitude of the mental stress depending on sizes of the unevenness. Second result is that the reaction appears faster by yellowing the unevenness. Third result is that the mental stress was felt when the continuity where something appeared at regular intervals was interrupted, rather than when something appeared at regular intervals.
