Key Points

This research aims to assess how periodic decorations influence driving safety in extra-long highway tunnels.
Conducted a simulation study modeling various tunnel designs with and without decorations.
Evaluated driver behavior and response under different environmental conditions.
Analyzed safety metrics based on driver performance in the simulated environments.
Identified that periodic decorations significantly enhance driver attention and reduce fatigue.
Found improved overall safety ratings in tunnels with decorative elements compared to plain designs.

Implication

Simulation study evaluates driving safety in extra-long tunnels, suggesting design improvements for better safety outcomes.

Abstract

These findings provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the systematic design and environmental evaluation of extra-long tunnels.
