Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of driving anger assessment, and in particular to a driver's driving anger assessment and intervention system and method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the increase in the number of cars on the road and the increase in people's life pressure, drivers' road rage has become more and more serious, and traffic accidents caused by "road rage" have also increased year by year. Facing the same driving environment, different drivers will have different emotional reactions and different operating behaviors. Therefore, it is extremely valuable to detect and evaluate drivers' road rage, quantify the intensity of driving anger, and output targeted intervention measures.

[0003] At present, in the study of driver driving anger, on the one hand, scholars use EEG, face, voice, physiological information and driving operation behavior to identify or detect the driver's anger. For example, Chinese patent: CN116129405A (application number: 2022115002659) discloses a multimodal hybrid fusion method for driver anger emotion recognition, which collects the driver's ECG signal, car driving parameters and driver's facial image, and uses the driver emotion recognition model based on the random forest algorithm and the driver emotion recognition model based on the convolutional neural network and the sofemax classifier for emotion recognition. The driver emotion recognition results obtained by the two emotion recognition models are fused through the DS evidence theory, and finally the driver's emotion recognition results are obtained. On the other hand, scholars give real-time warnings to the driver's anger based on emotion recognition and output real-time appeasement measures or connect the vehicle to the automatic driving system. For example, Chinese patent: CN117584985B (application number: 202410072074X) discloses a driving anger index detection and vehicle control method and system based on driving status, which performs feature extraction, time series change point detection and forgetting, and calculation of driving anger index on vehicle driving status data, and timely controls the vehicle's throttle, brake, voice and aromatherapy system according to the anger index to adjust emotional soothing and vehicle control parameters.

[0004] In summary, in the relevant technologies, most of them are about identifying the driver's anger emotions, while ignoring the evaluation of the intensity of driving anger; and in existing research, it is usually carried out under real car driving conditions, which is dangerous, and the collected data is easily disturbed by other emotions such as tension, and the road driving anger scenes are limited, which cannot fully and fairly reflect the driver's driving anger level; at the same time, in existing research, there are few studies that evaluate the driver's driving anger intensity and output levels and corresponding intervention measures.

[0086] Terminology explanation:

[0087] HRV: Heart Rate Variability.

[0088] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a driver anger assessment and intervention system based on VR simulated driving, comprising: a VR driving simulator and an information platform, wherein the VR simulated driving device and the information platform are connected via a network to achieve real-time communication;

[0089] The VR driving simulator serves as an evaluation platform, including a VR head display device and a driving control device, and the driving control device is configured with a data acquisition module and a data processing module.

[0090] The information platform is an intelligent computer with a touch screen, which is used for driver login, operation and generation of driving anger scenario information, calculation of the driver's driving anger level and output of intervention methods, synchronous display of the driver's simulated operation scenario and output of the driver's anger intensity level assessment results and corresponding intervention methods.

[0091] In some embodiments, the VR driving simulator includes a data acquisition module and a data analysis module, and the information platform includes a personal information module, a simulated driving module, a driving anger assessment module and an intervention module.

[0092] Specifically, the personal information module includes the driver's name, age, gender, driving experience, driving mileage, and number of violations, and is used to collect and store the driver's personal information, evaluation results, and intervention measures.

[0093] The simulation driving module is based on the historical classic driving rage scenes. Through three-dimensional modeling, an electronic information database of VR road traffic driving rage scenes is established, and the scene information is displayed on the display screen of the VR head display device;

[0094] The data acquisition module includes an electrocardiogram acquisition device, an electroencephalogram acquisition device, and multiple sensors arranged on the VR driving control device, which are used to collect the driver's electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram and driving behavior data in real time;

[0095] The data analysis module is a small intelligent computer that pre-processes the collected driver's electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram and driving behavior data and extracts characteristic indicators;

[0096] The driving anger assessment module is a pre-trained driving anger assessment model based on a Bayesian network. The characteristic indicators of the EEG, ECG and driver behavior data are input into the driving anger assessment model to obtain the driver's driving anger intensity level;

[0097] The intervention method module determines the driver's anger intervention measures according to the anger intensity level output by the driving anger assessment module and the correspondence between the preset anger intensity level and the emotion intervention method.

[0098] The connection diagram of each module of the system is as follows Figure 2As shown, the personal information module is connected to the simulation driving module, the simulation driving module is connected to the data acquisition module, the data acquisition module is connected to the data analysis module, the data analysis module is connected to the driving anger assessment module and to the personal information module, and the driving anger assessment module is connected to the intervention module and to the personal information module.

[0099] When conducting a driver's driving anger assessment, the driver's personal information, selected road scene information, driving anger level and intervention measures are all fed back to the memory of the personal information module of the information platform for backup and preservation.

[0100] The driver anger assessment and intervention system based on VR simulated driving provided by the embodiment of the present invention is constructed by adopting a VR simulated driver and an information platform, can provide a good evaluation environment for the driver's driving anger level, can immersively simulate road traffic anger scenes, and form a complete system of testing - assessment - intervention, which has the advantages of good stability, low interference, and a complete system.

[0101] Based on the above system, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for evaluating and intervening in driver anger based on VR simulated driving. The specific steps are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0102] Step S1: When the driver starts the assessment, the driver fills in personal information on the information platform, including: the driver's name, age, gender, driving experience, driving mileage, and number of violations;

[0103] Step S2: After the driver inputs personal information, the driving anger module selects driving anger scenes, stitches them in sequence, and sends them to the VR head display device.

[0104] Driving anger scenarios include five types of scenarios: slow driving, traffic obstruction, illegal driving, rude behavior, and bad road and weather conditions. The anger degree of each VR road traffic driving anger scenario is determined based on the characteristics of the scenario and is divided into five anger levels. Each type of VR traffic driving anger scenario library contains scenes of five anger levels. The driving anger module randomly selects one scene from each level of the VR road traffic driving anger scenario library for evaluation, and the selected scenes cannot be repeated. The five scenes are sequentially spliced ​​to form an evaluation driving scenario combination.

[0105] The contents of the VR road traffic driving anger scene library are shown in Table 1:

[0106] Table 1

[0107]

[0108] Step S3: When the driver wears the VR head display device to simulate the operation of the driving device, the data acquisition device collects the driver's electrocardiogram information, electroencephalogram information, driver's operating behavior information, and vehicle status information in real time and sends them to the data processing module.

[0109] In actual applications, when the driver is driving in the simulator, the VR simulator collects the driver's steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal speed, vehicle distance information, vehicle longitudinal acceleration, vehicle lateral acceleration and other control information in real time. The ECG acquisition device collects the driver's ECG information in real time, and the EEG acquisition device collects the driver's EEG information in real time.

[0110] Step S4: After the data processing module pre-processes the collected data and extracts data features, it is sent to the driving anger assessment module. The specific process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown,

[0111] Specifically, when the human body is in different emotional states, the time domain parameter Mean of HRV RR , pNN 20 ,SDNN RR , the frequency domain parameters LF and HF are significantly different, so Mean is selected RR , pNN 20 ,SDNN RR , LF\HF indicators are used to build a driver's driving anger intensity assessment model.

[0112] The ECG processing unit uses wavelet transform to reduce the noise of ECG signals:

[0113]

[0114] Where WT(ε,τ) is the wavelet transform of f(t); f(t) is the ECG signal to be processed; is the wavelet function; ε is the scaling variable of the wavelet function, corresponding to the frequency; τ is the translation variable of the wavelet function, corresponding to the time; t is the time.

[0115] The ECG processing unit then obtains the RR interval sequence of the driver's ECG signal through the built-in R wave detection algorithm, and extracts the time domain and frequency domain features of the HRV signal through a characteristic sliding time window. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0116]

[0117] Mean RR represents the average value of the RR interval in the sampling period, N is the number of RR intervals in the sampling period, RR i represents the i-th RR interval.

[0118]

[0119] Among them, SDNN RR represents the standard deviation of the RR interval within the sampling period, N is the number of RR intervals within the sampling period, Represents the average value of the RR interval within the sampling period, i = 1, 2, 3, ..., N

[0120]

[0121] where pNN 20 It indicates the percentage of the number of adjacent RR intervals with a difference greater than 20ms in the sampling period to the total number of RR intervals;

[0122]

[0123] Where LF represents the power in the low frequency band, HF represents the power in the high frequency band, and PSD(f) is the power spectral density of the signal.

[0124] According to the anger level threshold range corresponding to each ECG indicator, the anger intensity level of each indicator is judged. The anger intensity levels of each ECG indicator are divided as follows:

[0125] Mean RR >720 is normal, 695 < Mean RR ≤720 is low strength, 685<Mean RR ≤695 is medium strength, Mean RR ≤685 is high strength;

[0126] SDNN RR <150 is normal, 150≤SDNN RR <200 means low intensity, 200≤SDNN RR <300 is medium strength, 300≤SDNN RR For high strength;

[0127] pNN 20 >38.4 is normal, 37.4 < pNN 20 ≤38.4 is low intensity, 36.9<pNN 20 ≤37.4 is medium strength, pNN 20 ≤36.9 is high strength;

[0128] LF\HF<1.52 is normal state, 1.52≤LF\HF<1.82 is low intensity, 1.82≤LF\HF<2.3 is medium intensity, 2.3≤LF\HF is high intensity;

[0129] Specifically, the EEG processing unit performs bandpass filtering, artifact removal and resampling on the original EEG signal to obtain preprocessed EEG data;

[0130] The preprocessed EEG data is subjected to fast Fourier transform to obtain the power spectral density feature in the frequency domain of the EEG signal. All EEG signals are divided into five frequency bands, namely δ (1-4 Hz), θ (4-8 Hz), α (8-14 Hz), and β (14-30 Hz). The power spectral density feature calculation formula is:

[0131]

[0132] where x n is the nth sample of the EEG signal, N is the length of the EEG signal, w is the frequency, j is the imaginary unit, E is the expected value, e=2.7.

[0133] According to the anger level threshold range corresponding to each EEG indicator, the anger intensity level of each indicator is judged. The anger intensity levels of each EEG indicator are divided as follows:

[0134] 0<β%<0.2586 is normal state, 0.2586≤β%<0.3269 is low strength, 0.3269≤β%<0.374 is medium strength, 0.3674≤β% is high strength;

[0135] 0.2183<θ%≤1 is normal state, 0.1539<θ%≤0.2183 is low strength, 0.1216<θ%≤0.1539 is medium strength, 0<θ%≤0.1216 is high strength;

[0136] Specifically, when the driver operates the simulated driver, the simulated driver directly outputs the driver's steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal position, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration and vehicle distance, and selects steering wheel steering entropy SE, vehicle distance ξ(t), vehicle longitudinal acceleration |a|, vehicle lateral acceleration LA, and accelerator pedal speed SGP as driver behavior operation data features.

[0137] The driving behavior analysis unit calculates the vehicle spacing characteristic data ξ(t):

[0138]

[0139] D min (t) = v i (t)τ+d0

[0140] Among them, v i is the speed of the vehicle before the braking process begins; τ is the sum of the driver's reaction time and the braking effect time; d0 is the minimum distance between vehicles after the vehicle stops completely; D min(t) is the minimum vehicle distance; D(t) is the vehicle distance between the current vehicle and the preceding vehicle at time t.

[0141] The driving behavior analysis unit calculates the steering wheel turning entropy using the following formula:

[0142]

[0143] Among them, p i is the probability of each interval.

[0144] According to the anger level threshold range corresponding to each driving behavior indicator, the anger intensity level of each indicator is determined. The anger intensity level of each driving behavior indicator is divided as follows:

[0145] ξ(t)<0.8 is the normal state, 0.8≤ξ(t)<0.85 is low intensity, 0.85≤ξ(t)<1 is medium intensity, and 1≤ξ(t) is high intensity;

[0150] Step S5: The driving anger assessment module assesses the driving anger intensity of the driver and outputs the anger level to the intervention module.

[0151] Specifically, the driving anger assessment module is a driving anger assessment model constructed based on a Bayesian network. According to step S4,

[0153] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown in the figure, driving anger intensity R, ECG index CR, EEG index ER, and driving behavior index DR are hidden nodes, represented by H1, H2, H3, and H4 respectively. Driving anger intensity is the parent node of ECG index, EEG index, and driving behavior index.

[0155] The state set of each node variable is shown in Table 2:

[0156] Table 2

[0157]

[0158]

[0159] Parameter learning is performed, and the conditional probability table between data input factors is obtained based on expert experience and input into the model. The probabilities of the implicit nodes H1, H2, H3, and H4 are calculated:

[0160]

[0161] Where i = [1,4]; j = [1,11], m∈[2,3]

[0162] Through the Bayesian method, the fuzzy concept of driving anger intensity was quantified and divided into four levels: normal, low intensity, medium intensity, and high intensity, with corresponding probability ranges of [0, 0.25), [0.25, 0.5), [0.5, 0.75), and [0.75, 1].

[0163] Step S6: The driving anger assessment module outputs the driving anger intensity of the driver to the intervention module, and the intervention module outputs intervention measures according to the preset corresponding rules.

[0164] Specific intervention methods include music therapy, book therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, A, B, and C therapy, cognitive behavioral emotional therapy, healthy lifestyle therapy, and narrative therapy;

[0165] The corresponding rules between anger intensity levels and intervention measures are shown in Table 3:
