Embodiment Construction

[0012] overview

[0013] From a general overview, certain embodiments described in this disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for reducing anxiety of vehicle occupants. In one exemplary method, a computer disposed in a vehicle receives information for determining a behavioral profile of a vehicle occupant from a source, such as a server computer or a cloud storage component. The computer utilizes the behavioral profile to determine behavioral characteristics of the occupant. The behavioral characteristics are matched by the computer to one of various behavioral categories, such as a carphobic category or a controlling personality category. The computer then performs one or more operations in the vehicle based on the behavior category to which the occupant belongs. The computer may, for example, play an audio track, display a video clip, and / or alter the driving characteristics of the vehicle if the occupant falls within the category of phobic patients.

Abstract

The disclosure provides systems and methods for reducing anxiety in an occupant of a vehicle. Exemplary embodiments described in the disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for reducing anxiety in an occupant of a vehicle. In one exemplary method, a computer that is provided in a vehicle receives from a source such as a server computer, information that is used to determine a behavioral profile of an occupant of the vehicle. The computer utilizes the behavioral profile to identify a behavior characteristic of the occupant. The behavior characteristic is matched by the computerto one of various behavior categories such as an amaxophobia sufferer category or a controlling personality category. The computer then executes one or more operations in the vehicle based on the behavior category to which the occupant belongs. If the occupant belongs to the amaxophobia sufferer category, the computer may, for example, play an audio track, display a video clip, and/or change a driving characteristic of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to vehicles, and more particularly to systems and methods for reducing anxiety of vehicle occupants. Background technique [0002] Most people experience some level of anxiety while driving a vehicle. For example, a driver of a vehicle may experience various levels of anxiety when performing actions such as waiting for a red light to turn green, changing lanes on a highway, or looking for a traffic policeman while speeding. In most cases, this level of anxiety can be considered normal. However, in some situations, a driver may have an unusually high level of anxiety, which may lead to dangerous situations, such as rear-ending a vehicle due to the driver braking at the wrong time or driving unsafely below the speed limit. Therefore, it is desirable to provide solutions that minimize or eliminate this abnormally high level of anxiety. [0003] In the case of vehicle occupants, their anxiety levels may be higher...
