“…When encountering an anger-provoking situation, some drivers consider the other driver's behavior as an insult and express their anger aggressively. Meanwhile, anger may increase the probability of risk taking (Abdu, Shinar, & Meiran, 2012), which may cause drivers to engage in risky driving behavior. Thus, the driver's thoughts behind the wheel may be the main reason for his/her choice of behavior.…”

“…The reason is that the emotional arousal labeled as anger has a negative influence on some cognitive variables, such as attention, perception, and information procession, which influencing the driver's control of the vehicle while driving [4]. In addition, it is also proved that the driving anger increased risk taking and had a negative impact on driving behavior [5].…”

“…Similar methods are also adopted to induce anger during driving in current studies. Rotem Abdu et al tried to use event recall to induce anger, and the driving simulation test results indicated that the participants' anger emotion is effectively induced [5]. Different types of music (including high/low energy in combination with both positive/negative valences) were regarded as the anger induction material by Juslin et al In this study, 100 participants were split into five groups: the first four groups listened to different types of music (high/low energy in combination with both positive/negative valences) while the fifth group was used as a control group with no music stimulation.…”

Introduction. Angry driving has been a significant road safety issue worldwide. This study focuses on the problem of inducing and detecting driving anger based on the simulation and on-road experiments. Methods. First, three typical scenarios (including waiting for the red light frequently, traffic congestion, and the surrounding vehicle interference) which could cause driving anger were developed and applied in a driving simulator experimental study. The self-reported, biosignals, and brain signals of driving anger data were collected from the driving anger induction experiment. Second, in order to examine the difference of driving anger between simulation driving and real-life driving, 22 groups of on-road experiments were conducted. The typical scenes and self-reported data were recorded to distinguish normal driving from angry driving. Finally, a Hidden Naïve Bayes classifier was employed to detect angry driving during the on-road driving according to the four features (namely, BVP, SC, %, and %) from driver's biosignals and brain signals. Results. The evaluation of emotional differentiation degrees and emotional intensity indicates that the developed scenarios based on virtual reality were useful and effective in inducing driving anger. Meanwhile, the proposed angry driving detection approach achieves an accuracy of 85.0%. Conclusions and Applications. Due to possible crash and injury from the on-road experiments, the proposed approach of driving anger induction using a driving simulator is effective in exploring the causal relationship between angry driving, unsafe driving behavior, and traffic accident. In addition, angry driving detection approach can provide theoretical foundation for the development of driving anger warning products.

“…Even a relatively cautious driver may take unusual driving risks when excited, upset, or otherwise aroused (Taubman -Ben-Ari, 2011;van der Zwaag et al, 2012;Abdu, Shinar, Meira, 2012), including by music tempo (Brodsky, 2002). The best evidence of arousal is an increase in heart rate and one of the best ways to increase heart rate is through physical activity.…”

Summary:Teenage passengers increase teenage driving risk, but this may be conditional on events and emotions immediately preceding driving. An experimental simulation study evaluated the effect of pre-drive arousal on risky driving in the presence of a confederate teenage passenger. In a two-by-two between-subjects design, participants were randomized to high or low pre-drive arousal and passenger present or not present conditions. Prior to the drive participants played the Nintendo Wii video game, Rock Band TM . In the higharousal condition participants stood while playing high-energy Beatles songs; in the low arousal condition participants sat while playing low-energy Beatles songs. The manipulation produced differences in arousal by group. Group differences in risky driving were in the expected direction, but were not statistically significant at p = .05 on any of the three outcome measures, which included Failed to Stop (failing to stop at signalized intersections in the dilemma zone), Percent Time in Red (in intersections), and Pass Slow Vehicle (electing to pass a slow vehicle).
