| Abstract | According to the reported numbers of fatal crashes, road tunnels on highways pose a severe safety risk. Based on our own experience and observations, it is supposed that one substantial reason is an increased level of anger or stress, observable through elevated levels of cognitive demand. To confirm these assumptions, we conducted an on-road experiment aimed at revealing how the human mind is affected (in terms of stress levels) when traveling through tunnels compared to driving on the open road. Test subjects were continuously monitored with an ECG device and had to steer the vehicle on a 100km long highway segment with 24 tunnel passages. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation reveals that individuals in fact experience an elevated stress level, while feeling uncomfortable with the situation. A combination of these two circumstances suggests that, in critical situations, the body might react with tonical immobility as part of its acute stress response, having devastating consequences on the road. Future work is therefore strongly encouraged to identify major stressors, so to alleviate increased stress and, thus, to increase traffic safety. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
