    Abstract
  • Interchange bridges serve as important nodes in road traffic networks, facilitating the redirection of traffic flows in different directions. Currently, high-density interchanges are increasingly common in urban road networks. With closer spacing of high-density interchanges compared to regular ones, denser vehicle weaving occurs and drivers are required to perform merging and diverging maneuvers in a shorter time. To investigate the impact of interchange spacing on drivers' mental load and the corresponding statistical characteristics in the entrances and exits of high-density interchanges, a segment of the Inner Ring Expressway in Chongqing with four consecutive interchanges, three of which are high-density interchanges, was selected as the research site. Electrocardiogram data from 47 drivers during on-road experiments were collected using in-vehicle instruments. Differential analysis was conducted on the temporal and spectral indices of driver heart rate variability between the entrances and exits of high-density and regular-spacing interchanges, revealing the distributions of drivers' mental load in these sections. The results indicate that: There is no significant difference in the temporal index of heart rate variability between drivers passing through the entrances and exits of regular-spacing and high-density interchanges. However, there is a significant difference in the spectral index, i.e., the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency power of heart rate variability (LF/HF), which is believed can serve as the main indicator for evaluating drivers' mental load in interchange entrances and exits. When passing through the entrances of high-density interchanges, the LF/HF significantly increased compared to the one when passing through the entrances of regular-spacing interchanges, indicating that insufficient interchange spacing would increase mental load in the entrances of interchanges. Conversely, the LF/HF is significantly higher when passing through the exits of regular-spacing interchanges than the one when passing through the exits of high-density interchanges, indicating greater mental load when passing through exits of regular-spacing interchanges. For high-density interchanges, drivers' mental load in entrances are slightly higher than that in exits.
