6. Problem Situation
● Studies have shown emotions can affect driving
performance and behaviour.
!
● Almost 20% of accidents on major roads are
sleep-related, and are 50% more likely to cause
fatality.
!
● Men under 30 have the highest risk of falling asleep
at the wheel.
7. Literature Review
• Jackson et al (2013): Drivers deprived of sleep for 24
hours had significant cognitive impairment and more
incidents whilst driving compared to awake drivers.
!
• Blazejewski et al (2012): Drowsy driving increases your
chances of being involved in an accident almost as much
as drunk driving.
!
• National Sleep Foundation (2005): 60% of American
drivers admit to driving drowsy within the past year, also
37% have fallen asleep at the wheel at least once (and
13% of those admit to doing it at least once a month).
8. Literature Review
!
● Zillman (1971) : High anger drivers are more likely
to be in an angry state when getting in the car and
react badly to provocative events.
!
● Deffenbacher (2002) : High anger drivers are likely
to drive faster and are twice as likely to crash.
!
● Underwood (1999) : Trait driving anger correlates
with amount of traffic violations.
