Duluth -When the Jeep cuts me out and slowed down a few notches under the speed limit, I first gasped and vowed vigorously. Things I remember.
However, the sensor, along with the vehicle “black box” to capture the electrical changes of heart rate and skin, reveals more aggressive braking, acceleration and fast -beating hearts. It was almost always in the middle of working days when I was always stressed.
Turuna Seeecharan, an assistant professor of engineering department at the University of Minnesota, said, “It was clear that driving was definitely bad when you were a little more confused.
Seeecharan said he should find a way to calm himself before driving with an interview with the news conference.
She and graduate student MD Sakibul Hasan Nahid is studying the role of emotions such as stress play in driving. Do you have a correlation?
I wore a sensor for several days to better understand the research. My data showed that my stress was reduced when I was not on my work despite unexpected things on the road.
The study can lead to a technology that is useful for driver training programs or warns before stress levels, according to Seecharan and Nahid. This is because stress, fatigue and anger can make all cloud decisions while driving.
Seecharan said, “If you should not be in a car if you are too tired or drunk, you should not ride in the car.“ Please pay attention to the emotional state. ”
