Abstract :
The article describes the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle when driving, which indirectly reflects the behaviour of the driver. Our aim is to verify the options for assessing the condition of the driver that are provided by analysis of lateral and longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. The steps taken, the types of metrics and their relevance for reliable acquisition of information about the medium-and short-term factors of the condition of the driver are described.
