Riding Along My Automobile Musically

项目摘要

The emotional states, attitudes and awareness of drivers is increasingly being acknowledged as the principal cause of serious traffic accidents; the largest cause of fatality among young adults with a compound cost to their families and communities. Drivers have listened to music as stimulant and distraction since the early days of car audio in the 1930s, and more widely since the 1960s when the technology became far more widely available. It is telling that, whilst there is currently much research effort directed at understanding a range of in-car distractions such as mobile phones and sat-nav devices, there has been a relative absence of targeted research examining the effects of the emotional states brought about through music on driving behaviour and performance.Laboratory tests have found that music can interfere with and shape mental processing. Significantly, the effects in question are very much dependent on the task being performed, and the person performing it. In this project, we aim to investigate the effects of emotional states induced through music on driving behaviour and performance across a range of scenarios. Some of these effects may be positive - for instance, stimulating an otherwise tired driver - whilst others may be negative, such as causing a distraction from the road ahead. The research will address a number of questions: Under what driving conditions do musically-induced emotions influence performance? Which kinds of music are likely to impact upon the safety of drivers, passengers, and other road users? Does music improve alertness or driving performance in any way? Are such effects similar for the young and the old, and for both males and females?Brunel University London has formed a partnership with the national Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), insurers Direct Line PLC, and the Dundee Science Centre (organisers of the annual Dundee Science Festival). The programme entails an innovative sequence of studies aiming to explore the effects of emotions and attitudes on drivers. The studies will take place in a state-of-the-art driving simulator based around a modified road car. The sophisticated battery of measures includes motion sensors, an eye-movement capture system, brain monitors, expert interviews, and driving performance assessments focussing on accuracy, decision-making, and the timely response to critical and unexpected events. The team consists of Dr Costas Karageorghis alongside the TRL's Professor Nick Reed. For two decades, Karageorghis has led internationally-renowned research into the effects of music in various physical activity contexts from healthcare to gymnasia-based exercise. Having developed an experimental and theoretical paradigm to account for music's emotional and motivational power, Karageorghis and his fellow scientists aim to apply this expertise in a highly prevalent social space in which considerations of risk are paramount, that of the public road. In both contexts, music is used as a form of distraction, a means to improve emotions, and a stimulus. Both Direct Line PLC and the annual Dundee Science Centre are providing dissemination opportunities for the project, which will engage the driving public with the new findings. This novel programme of research has been meticulously designed to address fundamental questions connected to driving psychology with the aim of aiding policy makers, while feeding in to safety guidelines, product development and driver education. With music playing such a ubiquitous role in the experience of car ownership, especially among the young, formal and revealing investigation of the way that music alters driving behaviour is timely. The ultimate aim is to prime public awareness and stimulate debate, contribute towards improvements in road safety, and thus play an indirect role in preventing accidents and their associated casualties.

司机的情绪状态、态度和意识越来越被认为是造成严重交通事故的主要原因；这是年轻人死亡的最大原因，给他们的家庭和社区带来了复合成本。自20世纪30年代汽车音响出现初期以来，司机们就把听音乐作为刺激和分散注意力的手段，自20世纪60年代音响技术普及以来，这种做法得到了更广泛的应用。这说明，虽然目前有很多研究致力于了解手机和卫星导航设备等一系列车内干扰因素，但相对缺乏针对音乐对驾驶行为和表现所带来的情绪状态影响的针对性研究。实验室测试发现，音乐可以干扰和塑造心理过程。值得注意的是，问题的影响很大程度上取决于正在执行的任务和执行任务的人。在这个项目中，我们的目标是研究通过音乐诱导的情绪状态在一系列场景下对驾驶行为和表现的影响。其中一些影响可能是积极的——例如，刺激一个本来就很累的司机——而另一些可能是消极的，例如，导致对前方道路的注意力分散。这项研究将解决一系列问题：在什么样的驾驶条件下，音乐诱发的情绪会影响驾驶表现？哪些类型的音乐可能会影响司机、乘客和其他道路使用者的安全？音乐能在某种程度上提高警觉性或驾驶性能吗？这种影响对年轻人和老年人、男性和女性都是相似的吗？伦敦布鲁内尔大学与国家交通研究实验室（TRL）、保险公司Direct Line PLC和邓迪科学中心（每年邓迪科学节的组织者）建立了合作伙伴关系。该计划需要一系列创新的研究，旨在探索情绪和态度对司机的影响。这些研究将在一个最先进的驾驶模拟器上进行，模拟器的基础是一辆改装的公路汽车。这套复杂的测量系统包括运动传感器、眼动捕捉系统、大脑监视器、专家访谈和驾驶性能评估，侧重于准确性、决策以及对关键和意外事件的及时反应。该团队由科斯塔斯·卡拉吉奥吉斯博士和TRL的尼克·里德教授组成。二十年来，卡拉吉奥吉斯领导了一项国际知名的研究，研究音乐在各种体育活动环境中的作用，从医疗保健到体操运动。卡拉吉奥吉斯和他的同事们开发了一种实验和理论范式来解释音乐的情感和激励力量，他们的目标是将这种专业知识应用于一个高度流行的社会空间，在这个社会空间中，风险的考虑是至关重要的，即公共道路。在这两种情况下，音乐都被用作一种分散注意力的形式，一种改善情绪的手段，一种刺激。Direct Line PLC和一年一度的邓迪科学中心都为该项目提供了传播机会，这将使公众与新发现接触。这个新颖的研究项目经过精心设计，旨在解决与驾驶心理学相关的基本问题，以帮助政策制定者，同时为安全指南、产品开发和驾驶员教育提供帮助。音乐在拥有汽车的经历中扮演着如此无处不在的角色，尤其是在年轻人中，因此，对音乐改变驾驶行为的方式进行正式而有启发性的调查是及时的。最终目的是提高公众认识和激发辩论，促进改善道路安全，从而在预防事故及其相关伤亡方面发挥间接作用。
