Abstract: High-precision driver’s emotion recognition model is one of the key problems for intelligent vehicle safety assisted driving systems. To solve this problem, a method is proposed to build driver’s emotion online recognition model through physiological feature mapping. The time-domain features of driver’s physiological signals of ECG and pulse under different emotions are extracted, the sample library of physiological signal and emotion correlation is established. An improved stacked autoencoder (I-SAE) neural network is proposed, an emotion model of physiological representation and off-line identification based on I-SAE is built. Both physiological signals and vehicle state data are collected for different emotions during the driving. The vehicle state characteristic parameter vector is made by principal component analysis and the physiological signal data is processed through I-SAE model. The driver’s emotion representation is transferred from physiology to vehicle state, and the correlation sample library of vehicle state and driver emotion are obtained. On this basis, a driver emotion online recognition model based on learning vector quantization (LVQ) is established. The experimental data show that the correct recognition rate of the driver's emotion online recognition model constructed by this method is more than 84%, which can meet the needs of intelligent systems such as vehicle safety distance early warning.
