Abstract: When driving, the most crucial factor to consider is you and your passengers’ safety. Drivers must be kept under observation for any potential harmful act, whether intentional or inadvertent, in order to ensure a safe navigation. As a result, a real-time emotion detection system for a driver has been developed to detect, exploit, and evaluate the driver's emotional state. This paper discusses how to recognize emotions using facial expressions for application in active security systems for drivers. We discuss our research and development of a Convolutional Neural Network-based intelligent system for face image-based expression classification in this paper.

Key words: driver behavior, human-vehicle interaction, convolution neural network, facial expressions, deep neural networks
