Abstract
In this study, the detection of the hurry state is discussed. If this detection becomes possible, and a driver assistance system which leads a driver to normal state from deviated hurry state is realized, it could prevent the unsafe driving behavior and consequently prevent traffic accidents as well. The objective of this paper is to propose and examine the validity of a hurry state detection method based on naturalistic driving behavior database. To propose a hurry state detection method, the validity of indices to detect the deviated hurry state extracted in the previous study was verified. Also, since road environment has the possibility to influence the indices, road environments affecting the indices were classified, to enable precise detection of the hurry state. The validity of the proposed method was examined by applying a driving behavior database collected with subjective assessment of the hurry level to the method. The result showed that the proposed method has the possibility to detect the hurry state.
