PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for determining whether the visibility of vehicle equipment visually recognized from the position of a subject seated on a predetermined seat in a vehicle is good or not with high accuracy without requiring a mock-up model and a large number of subjects.SOLUTION: A data analysis unit 3 determines whether the visibility of indoor equipment is good or not by comparing a visibility evaluation value with a standard visibility evaluation value. The visibility evaluation value is calculated by: an eye point operation function 31 for calculating an eye point a physical information operation function 32 obtained by using a second response curved surface approximate expression of the vehicle equipment serving as a target of the visibility determination registered on a data memory unit 2, based on positional information of the vehicle equipment, angle information of the vehicle equipment, and eye point information and a physical information/electroencephalographic information operation function 33 obtained by using a third response curved surface approximate expression serving as a target of the visibility determination registered in the data memory unit, based on an electroencephalographic difference value index corresponding to the vehicle equipment. The standard visibility evaluation value is a value serving as the target of the visibility determination registered in the data memory unit and expressing that the visibility of the vehicle equipment is good.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】モックアップや大勢の被験者を必要とすることなく、車内の予め定められたシートに着座した被験者がその位置から視認する車内装備品の視認性が良好か否かを高精度で判定する装置を提供する。【解決手段】データ解析部3は、アイポイントを算出するアイポイント演算機能31と、車内装備品の位置情報、車内装備品の角度情報、及びアイポイント情報に基づき、データ記憶部2に登録された視認性判定の対象となる車内装備品の第2の応答曲面近似式を用いて物理情報演算機能32と、車内装備品に対応する脳波差値指標に基づき、データ記憶部に登録された視認性判定の対象となる第3の応答曲面近似式を用いて物理情報・脳波情報演算機能33と、視認性評価値と、データ記憶部に登録された視認性判定の対象となる車内装備品の視認性が良好であることを表す1つの基準視認性評価値とを対比して室内装備品の視認性が良好であるか否かを判定する。【選択図】図1
