Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the physio-emotional state of the driver in the vehicle cabin using a multimodal approach, comprising context, motion, visual, and audio data, collected beforehand. Driver behavior monitoring is implemented upon the data gained from different types of sensors, including accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, GPS, front-facing camera, microphone, and information retrieved from third-party services. This data is intended to fully describe driver behavior and aid advanced driver assistant systems to fully classify and recognize dangerous driving behavior, and generate alerts on how to eliminate emergency situations. The emotional state of the driver is determined as six basic emotions, including sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, and happiness. This work eventually presents driving style classification, dividing drivers into three groups: normal, ecological, urban, risky, and aggressive driving. This classification may potentially recognize aggressive vehicle drivers on public roads, and, therefore, undertake measures to reduce the risk of traffic accident occurrence.
