Abstract

The chapter delves into the unique challenges posed by high altitude areas on driver safety, particularly in highway tunnels. It discusses how factors such as low oxygen levels, harsh environmental conditions, and the 'black hole' and 'white hole' effects of tunnels contribute to increased accident rates. The research focuses on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, using real vehicle tests and data analysis to understand the impact of these conditions on driver behavior. The study proposes innovative solutions, including the placement of animal crossing warning signs and the establishment of a pre-distance model for highway tunnel warning signs. These recommendations aim to enhance driver safety and reduce accidents in high altitude areas, making the chapter a valuable resource for professionals in the field.
