Analysis of the Vehicle Maneuver and Driver Emotion: Methodology and Results Discussion

Nowadays, systems for detecting driver behaviour are being actively developed in order to reduce road accidents. Emotions are one of the factors that influence driver’s decisions. This paper explores the correlation between the type of performed maneuver and the emotion experienced by the driver. A methodology to match the maneuver being performed with the emotion is proposed. Experiments show that when aggressive braking is performed, a person’s fear level increases in a few seconds. Moreover, it was found that emotions do not appear only at the moment of the maneuver. Experiments have shown that the greatest expression of emotions appears in 4 seconds before the start of the maneuver and ends in 3 seconds after the maneuver is performed.
