Detection of Emotional States Through the Facial Expressions of Drivers Embedded in a Portable System Dedicated to Vehicles

摘要

The density of cars and the technological advance in the last decade of this century have increased exponentially, reaching a point that creates various problems. The main cause of deaths due to car accidents has a lesser-known cause and that's coming from the driving area under certain conditions and under certain emotional states that negatively or positively affect the driving style. In this article, we present a module implemented in a multifunctional device dedicated to cars that aim to detect the emotional states of drivers. Thus, depending on these conditions, the application specifies the driver's status by identifying certain features that can later prevent him from driving the car until the emotional state is appropriate and does not pose a danger to their own lives and to other road users or pedestrians.
