| Research Abstract |
This study aim to control automotive using biosignals reacted before drivers step on the brake pedal in traffic accidents occurrence. We measured reaction time and electromyogram from lower extremity of volunteers, and compared the middle-aged generation with young male generation. Experimental results showed that electromyogram of tibialis anterior was reacted at the moment of releasing the accelerator, regardless of ageing. we also measured RR distance with a digital filter, and analyzed an influence of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) related to aging. As results, RSA was significantly different between young and elderly subjects. In conclusion, age can be divided into two groups by using amplitude of RSA from body displacement.
