“…It is acknowledged that younger drivers can be seen as more likely to engage in risky driving behaviours (Scott-Parker et al, 2014) or be less likely to self-regulate driving behaviours (Gwyther & Holland, 2012). Simultaneously, previous research suggests that women often express a more anxious style of driving (Gwyther & Holland, 2012;Mesken et al, 2007). In the present study, males had an average trait anxiety score of 33.4, whereas the average score for females was 39.5.…”

A Laboratory Study of Behavioural and Physiological Responses to Different Driving Environments.Barnard, M.P*., & Chapman, P. School of Psychology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom AbstractResearch into anxiety and driving has indicated that those higher in anxiety are potentially more dangerous on the roads. However, simulator findings suggest that conclusions are mixed at best. It is possible that anxiety is becoming confused with fear, which has a focus on more clearly defined sources of threat from the environment, as opposed to the internal, thought-related process associated with anxiety. This research aimed to measure feelings of fear, as well as physiological and attentional reactions to increasing levels of accident risk.Trait anxiety was also measured to see if it interacted with levels of risk or its associated reactions. Participants watched videos of driving scenarios with varying levels of accident risk and had to rate how much fear they would feel if they were the driver of the car, whilst skin conductance, heart rate, and eye movements were recorded. Analysis of the data suggested that perceptions of fear increased with increasing levels of accident risk, and skin conductance reflected this pattern. Eye movements, when considered alongside reaction times, indicated different patterns of performance according to different dangerous situations.These effects were independent of trait anxiety, which was only associated with higher rates of disliking driving and use of maladaptive coping mechanisms on questionnaires. It is concluded that these results could provide useful evidence in support for training-based programs; it may also be beneficial to study trait anxiety within a more immersive driving environment and on a larger scale. 2Keywords: anxiety, fear, emotion, environmental arousal, somatic marker.

“…It is an experience produced when natural and social needs can be satisfied or not and it is more situational and transient. Emotion is produced by psychological activities [24] including the experience of happiness, anger, sadness, and joy and the reaction of physiological changes. It influences human's understanding and behavior through emotion experience and reaction [25].…”

Driver's propensity is a dynamic measurement of driver's characteristics, such as affection and preference. In the vehicle driverassistance system, especially its collision warning subsystem, it is also an important parameter of computing driver's intention. The prediction of driver's propensity from relative static and macroscopic perspective is an essential precondition for further researching and extracting dynamic characteristics. Physiology and psychology tests are designed to measure driver's character and calculate physiological rhythm. Changing data of driver's psychology and emotion during driving are obtained by real vehicle test. Then driver's propensity values of different types are calculated by weighting method according to the contribution rate of standard features. Results show that this method is better than the traditional psychology test, and it provides a basis for further studying dynamic characteristics of driver's affection.

Abstract-In this paper we present a study that looks at modelling drivers' behaviour with a view to contribute to the problem of road rage. The approach we adopt is based on agent technology, particularly multi-agent systems. Each driver is represented by a software agent. A virtual environment is used to simulate drivers' behaviour, thus enabling us to observe the conditions leading to road rage. The simulated model is then used to suggest possible ways of alleviating this societal problem. Our agents are equipped with an emotional module which will make their behaviours more human-like. For this, we propose a computational emotion model based on the OCC model and probabilistic cognitive maps. The key influencing factors that are included in the model are personality, emotions and some social/personal attributes.
