Abstract
System, method, and media for providing navigation of an affective vehicle environment to an occupant (such as a driver) of a vehicle. Sensors in and on the vehicles in the affective environment may detect characteristics of the occupants of the vehicle and stress levels may be assigned to the occupants. The navigation may be based at least in part on the location and destination of the vehicles in the affective environment and the stress levels of the occupants of the vehicles.
Claims20
A system for generating a map of an affective traffic environment based at least in part on a location and a destination of a first vehicle, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to collect a first set of data associated with a driver of the first vehicle;
- a second sensor configured to collect a second set of data associated with a driver of a second vehicle;
- a processor;
- one or more non-transitory computer storage media storing:
- a first driver profile based at least in part on the first set of data;
- a second driver profile based at least in part on the second set of data;
- the destination and the location of the first vehicle;
- computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform a method of generating a map of an affective traffic environment based at least in part on the destination and the location of the first vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- calculating a first stress level from the first driver profile;
- calculating a second stress level from the second driver profile;
- calculating a stress zone based at least in part on the second stress level and a location of the second vehicle;
- calculating a driving route for the first vehicle based at least in part on the stress zone;
- and
- communicating with a second processor configured to display the map of the affective driving environment to the first driver,
- wherein the map includes the driving route and the stress zone.
A method of generating a map of an affective traffic environment based at least in part on a destination and a location of a first vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- collecting via at least one sensor a first set of data associated with the driver of the first vehicle;
- collecting via at least one second sensor a second set of data associated with the driver of a second vehicle;
- determining a first stress level from the first set of data;
- determining a second stress level from the second set of data;
- generating the map of the affective traffic environment;
- generating a stress zone from at least the second stress level and a location of the second vehicle;
- generating a recommended driving route for the first vehicle based at least in part on the stress zone;
- and
- displaying the map of the affective traffic environment of the first vehicle, stress zone, and recommended driving route to the driver of the first vehicle.
One or more computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of generating a map of an affective traffic environment based at least in part on a destination and a location of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- sensing a stress level of an occupant of the vehicle;
- generating the map of the affective traffic environment of the vehicle based at least in part on a location of the vehicle;
- displaying the map of the affective traffic environment to the occupant of the vehicle;
- and
- recommending a driving route to the occupant of the vehicle via the map of the affective traffic environment,
- wherein the driving route is based at least in part on the stress level of the occupant of the vehicle, location of the vehicle, destination of the vehicle, and information associated with the other traffic in the affective traffic environment.
