Abstract

Nowadays, there are many machines to make our lives more convenient and a lot of situations in which people use the machines. The vehicle is also highly functional. Therefore ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) development has been promoting research. However, it is difficult to operate other functions when driving. Therefore, the development of the method to collect information automatically and to send to the driver is important. In this report human facial expression is used as an interface. Tiredness and stress are measured from the driver's facial expression and a method of improving the feelings of the driver is presented. Especially, tiredness and stress often become factors of the traffic accident. Information on Iyashi is presented from this system, and the change in driver's feelings is measured. As a result, Iyashi can be effectively given to the driver.
