Emotion Sensing for Bicycle Safety and Mobility Comfort Analysis of Human Sensor Measurements and Correlations with Contextual Parameters

Abstract

When cycling, peoples safety perception influence whether they decide to use a bicycle. There are several factors that influence the perception of safety. Besides external factors, these include a lack of or poor cycling facilities that either offer too little space or protection. To quantify the perceived stress level while cycling, the research project ESSEM, funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, starts with the collection of biostatistical data within an innovative approach. The data base offers potentials to determine implications for the optimization of cycling infrastructure, but also for product development and evaluation.
