Road geometry (curve radius and curve direction) must be optimized and perfected based on scientific design and accident analysis in order to ensure traffic safety. This study simulated vehicle maneuvering and operational behavior of drivers using simulated driving experiments. The experimental procedure was divided into two scenes, and there were five types of curves with radiuses of 500 m, 1,000 m, 1,500 m, 2,000 m, and 2,500 m. Each curve radius was divided into two cases: the left curve and the right curve. Twenty-eight participants took part in the experiment, each with different personal characteristics. During the experiment, driver visual information and electroencephalogram (EEG) information were recorded through Face-LAB and an EEG recorder. EEG information was processed according to frequency, and divided into different bands: workload, relaxation, comfort, nervousness, attention, thinking, consciousness, and fatigue. According to the averages and standard deviations of the different EEG curves, the principle of Kansei engineering can be used to determine the level of a driver’s subjective Kansei factors. As a result, it was found that the emotional information of the driver gradually became stable with increased curve radius, and the degree of subjective emotional change decreased.
