Abstract

Examines emotional responses during takeover requests in conditionally automated vehicles among older drivers. Using facial expression analysis, valence and arousal were measured across different road conditions. Cognitively healthy individuals exhibited adaptive increases in arousal under higher-demand conditions, while those with cognitive impairment displayed lower arousal and higher positive valence, indicating reduced emotional response and awareness. Suggests adaptive vehicle systems are needed to support safe vehicle handovers for vulnerable populations.
