Abstract:
One of the main causes of traffic accidents is "improper driving", such as driver's carelessness and operation mistakes. To prevent traffic accidents, it is necessary to detect the occurrence of improper driving, point it out to the driver, and advise improvement. However, the driving behavior analysis, which analyzes the driving itself from several sensor data, cannot accurately and comprehensively detect improper driving because it does not consider the traffic situation related to the road, the other vehicles and so on. This paper proposes a method that combines the driving behavior analysis and the danger perception by passengers. This method allows for comprehensive and correct detection of improper driving because passengers can objectively see both the driving and traffic situation. Experiments to apply this method showed its effectiveness. Furthermore, we conducted the other experiment to compare the passenger danger perception with driver’s one. The results showed that drivers and passengers find out different types of dangerous driving, and that passengers perceive the driving more objectively. The results newly show that the use of objective analysis using the passenger's heart rate is effective in providing improvement to the driver.
