Anxiety is a common negative emotion during driving, which has an important influence on driving behaviors. In order to explore the influence mechanism of anxiety on driving behavior, an anxiety emotion induced method is designed and virtual driving experiment is carried out by using the high simulation virtual driving platform in this paper. And the changing regularities of driving behaviors of driving speed, acceleration frequency, lane changing frequency and acceleration interference in anxiety emotion are studied. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows that driving behaviors in anxiety emotion are significantly different compared with the normal emotion. This study provides a basis for further analysis of the relationship between driving behavior and traffic safety in anxiety emotion, which is of great significance to future research of auxiliary driving and unmanned driving.
