Abstract:
A method of assessing an operator emotional state and sending an alert based on the emotional state . The method includes tracking during a time period, using at least one sensor , one of an image sensor data, voice data or a biometric parameter of an operator. Determining , using a controller that is operatively connected to at least one sensor , a probability of a likely emotional state from a list of emotional states of an operator based on one of the image sensor data, voice data or the biometric parameter. Comparing , using a processor, the probability of one of the likely emotional states of the operator with a baseline emotional state of the operator. Sending , using the controller , an alert if most likely emotional state deviates from the baseline emotional state by a predetermined threshold.
