Nature of distracted driving in various physiological conditions (original) (raw)

Road traffic injury has appeared as a severe problem today, claiming more than 1.25 million lives each year worldwide and draining 3% of the total global GDP. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, about half a million people got injured in 2014 due to distracted driving related car clashes. In this work, we have considered the brainwave, heart rate and blood pressure level of a distracted driver. Within the various source of distraction (e,g, multi-tasking, severe weather condition, external sound effects) we monitored the driving behavior through EEG signal. In particular, the alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta brainwaves have a significant connection with the emotion, stress and other psychological responses. Our EEG data analysis can provide a pathway to detect the physiological condition of distracted drivers and avoid road accidents.
