Abstract
To provide a comprehensive analysis of how an intricate landscape environment comprising various landscape elements influences driving safety and comfort. Beginning with the individual design of the tunnel body section, which includes the roof, sidewalls, road surface, and sidewalk facade markings, this paper references the driver’s biomass index to identify design alterations that satisfy basic safety requirements through simulated driving experiments. Subsequently, employing orthogonal experimental design and semi-supervised clustering algorithms, we ascertain the optimal combination of the four main landscape elements of the tunnel body section that align with both safety and comfort objectives. The experimental findings demonstrate that a safe and comfortable landscape design for urban tunnel sections does not entail a single optimal design; rather, any landscape design conforming to the criterion of “patterned landscapes are set on the side walls and roofs of the tunnel instead of the surface of the road” is the optimal design.
