Driving stress is a common problem that affects many individuals and
can have serious consequences.
INTRODUCTION
Existing stress detection methods based on physiological signals are
limited in their accuracy and practicality.
The use of physiological signals, such as PPG, ECG, and EEG, has shown
promising results in detecting stress.
Previous studies have mainly focused on unimodal analysis. In this paper
multimodal approach using CNN is used.

Driver stress level
detection using HRV
analysis
The study was conducted on a small
sample size of only 15 drivers, which
may not be representative of the
general population of drivers.
Support Vector Machine
(SVM) is used to classify the
stress levels of the driver
based on the selected
features

Continuous detection of
physiological stress with
commodity hardware
The paper relies on self-reported stress
levels, which may not always be
accurate and could affect the reliability
of the results.
The trained model is used to
continuously monitor the
wearer's stress levels in real-
time, with stress levels
updated every few seconds.

PROBLEM
STATEMENT
The research paper focuses on the problem of detecting driving
stress using multiple physiological signals. Traditional methods
of stress detection are unreliable and time-consuming, hence
there is a need for an automated and objective method that can
help improve road safety and driving experience.
The paper aims to address the problem of detecting driving
stress using physiological signals, including PPG and GSM.
PROPOSED
SOLUTION
Proposed solution combines GSR, and HR signals for stress detection in
driving scenarios
Nonlinear transformation of signals using RQA and kurtosis-based
filtering
Multimodal CNN architecture for joint learning of features with random
undersampling technique used for imbalanced data
Achieved high accuracy and outperformed other state-of-the-art
methods
WORKFLOW
The proposed multimodal achieved an average accuracy of 95.67% and
AUC of 0.987 in detecting driving stress for the 30-s input signals.
RESULT &
ANALYSIS
The fusion of HRV and PPG signals resulted in higher performance
compared to using only one modality.
The proposed method also outperformed the baseline SVM model, which
only used HRV features, with an accuracy improvement of 7.9%.
The study showed that the proposed method has potential for real-time
monitoring of driving stress, which could help improve road safety and
prevent accidents caused by stress-induced driver errors.
SUMMARY
The research paper focuses on the problem of detecting driving
stress using physiological signals. Traditional methods of stress
detection are unreliable and time-consuming, hence there is a
need for an automated and objective method that can help
improve road safety and driving experience.
The paper aims to address the problem of detecting driving
stress using physiological signals, including PPG, ECG and EEG.
