When a military vehicle is driven on a cross-country road, the occupants are exposed to vibration at a body resonance. In case that the exposure continues for too long period, the attention ability of the occupant could be affected by the vibration exposure. In the study, it was experimentally tried to find if there is a correlation between degradation of attention and vibration exposure. Two kinds of test among various psychological attention tests were employed, which were selected with considering a situation of carrying out military mission on vehicle. At the result, the searching test for controlled attention showed significant degradation in the accuracy and performance time in case of exposure at the vibration. And the attention degradation appeared to be greater when the vibration exposure increases. The dual task test for divided attention showed the difference between vibration and non-vibration condition, but showed it is insignificant for the attention to degrade by increasing exposure time.
