Abstract: Recently as driving accidents on the highway have increased, it has become a social problem. Highway accidents lead to serious accidents due to the rapid speed of the vehicle, resulting in serious injury. Korea Highway Corporation is making a lot of efforts to prevent such highway drowsiness driving accidents. As part of that, the dormant shelters are installed and operated in various places on the outdoor road section. In the tunnel section, various sounds for drowsiness are operated under the name "drowsy alert sound". In particular, the tunnel section is more vulnerable to drowsiness driving because it is a section that must run for a while in a state where the tunnel section is relatively darker than the outdoor section. In this study, we have verified the drowsiness sounds currently used in the highway tunnel section. We used the acoustic method, the brain wave method and the MOS test method for verification. The results will be used as an opportunity to complement and develop the sound used for eliminating drowsiness in existing highway tunnels and to select new sounds.
