Understanding Driver's Emotion and Attention in the Context of Augmented Reality Head-up Display System

Abstract

As one of the primary psychological factors, the emotion of the driver affects the driving behaviour constantly. Negative emotions may lead to improper driving behaviour, threatening the safety of drivers, and even endangering society. Monitoring and regulating drivers' emotions while they are behind the wheel is crucial. It not only helps to lower the risks on the road, but it also enables a novel approach to driver-car interactions. Augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD), as a developing technology, has been invested in the innovation of automobile driving, with promising potential to support driving and change driver-vehicle interaction. While research on driver emotion is well developed, more study is needed in the context of the AR-HUD system is still emergent for the future industry. The paper presents a systematic literature review to highlight recent research on driver’s emotion in the context of the AR-HUD system. The paper explores the integration of emotional recognition technologies into AR-HUD systems, examining their effectiveness in improving driver mood and reducing the risk of accidents. This review also discusses the challenges and future directions in this field, proposing ways to optimize AR-HUD systems for better emotional awareness and road safety.
