Abstract: For the sake of improving the safety of driving on village road, the paper was aimed at analyzing the relations between the running characteristics of the vehicle and the physiological state of the driver during the vehicles meeting process based on the theories of traffic engineering, psychology and human factor engineering. Data on the driver's psychological and physiological changes and the vehicle speed and other parameters were obtained through field testing. The speed change of the vehicle during the vehicles meeting and the driver's heart rate growth rate were analyzed. The relationship between the vehicle speed change and the heart rate growth rate during the meeting process on the straight line segment was studied. The relationships between the vehicle speed, the growth rate of driver's heart rate and the flat curve radius on the curved section were analyzed. The results show that the driver feels an obvious tension when the vehicles crossing each other, and the vehicle speed in the meeting duration undergoes an U-shaped change process, however the change in the corresponding heart rate growth rate undergoes a process opposite to the U-shaped change process, and that when the curve radius gets larger, the vehicles speed get higher when crossing each other, however the growth rate of driver's heart rate gets lower.
