Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in automobiles on driving performance. Methods: A driving simulator experiment was conducted with eight taxi drivers. The experiment was conducted under low CO2 concentration (<500 ppm) and high CO2 concentration (5,000 ppm) conditions. To evaluate driving performance and cognitive function, three measures were employed: a two-back task, an LED response task, and a driving assessment. The driving assessment used scoring criteria from the driving license proficiency test. Results: Poisson regression analysis showed that
