    • 本研究將以駕駛模擬器探討可變速限標誌(Variable Speed Limit Sign, VSLS，以下簡稱VSLS)應用於我國高速公路環境之適用性，實驗場景以我國高速公路環境為模擬情境，針對於動態速限(危險情況速限調降)與固定速限(速限未更動，以下簡稱FSLS)兩種速度管制手段分別進行實驗，考量行車狀況良好、惡劣天候、道路施工車道縮減等三種情境。進行駕駛模擬實驗前，先行發放問卷，調查受測者對VSLS的預期想法；受測者於實驗後再填寫一次問卷，調查受測者對VSLS的實際感受，並與第一次預期發放的問卷作比較。同時，分析FSLS與VSLS在各種路段與情況的實驗數據，並觀察兩種速限之下速度的變異情形(speed variation)。實驗結果發現，統計檢定顯示在各個事件中，兩種速限系統之下，駕駛人的速度變化無顯著差異，但透過數據分析與行車軌跡圖發現在VSLS之下的速度變化情形低於FSLS，亦即VSLS確實可提升高速公路行車速度的一致性(homogeneity)。另外，根據問卷分析結果，受測者普遍認為VSLS能提升行車安全，並會支持主管機關推行VSLS相關政策。

    This research discuss the application feasibility of variable speed limit sign (abbreviated to VSLS below) in Taiwan, considering three conditions such as comfortable, foggy, and lane closure on the freeway under two speed limit regulations: VSLS and fixed speed limit sign (abbreviated to FSLS below). Before the examinees drive the simulator, they have to fill out a questionnaire about the anticipation and opinions of VSLS. After the simulation test, they will be asked to fill another questionnaire about the feeling of VSLS. Finally, this research compares the difference of examinees’ anticipation and exact feeling about VSLS. Meanwhile, analyze the speed data and observe the speed variation in VSLS or FSLS scenario and various road conditions. The statistical results manifest that there is no significant difference upon speed variation under FSLS and VSLS in each experiment scenario; however, the differences are observed via data analysis and trajectories that the speed variation is much lower in VSLS cases. Scilicet, VSLS is exactly able to improve speed homogeneity on freeway. Furthermore, the examinees positively approve that VSLS can augment driving safety on the roadway, and they will sustain the policy when implementing.
