Abstract This research investigates how different shoulder widths affect driver behavior and driver’s heart rate, on which the optimized design of bridge-tunnel linkage sections is based. We conduct a simulation driving experiment on an 8-degrees of freedom simulator which creates a high fidelity virtual and motive driving environment. In this study, the max countering steering wheel angle (MCSWA) is chosen to characterize the safety degree of driver’s manipulation while the variability of max heart rate (VMHB) is used to describe driver’s mental and physiological state. After an overall consideration of relations among shoulder width, MCSWA and VMHB, the most suitable shoulder width and the optimized design of bridge-tunnel linkage sections are proposed.
