General Conclusion 128!<br />

The first foundation, how to elicit a wide range <strong>of</strong> emotions, was targeted <strong>in</strong> the first paper. Build<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on that, different scenarios conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g several diagnostic <strong>in</strong>tervals can be developed <strong>in</strong> future<br />

experiments and tested with<strong>in</strong> a standardised simulated environment or directly on the road. Objective<br />

assessments related to cognitive processes, such as eye-track<strong>in</strong>g for attention-deployment, and<br />

subjective statements <strong>of</strong> perceived risk <strong>in</strong> specific situations can complete the experimental sett<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

This approach will hopefully lead to a much better understand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the emotional richness found <strong>in</strong><br />

experiences <strong>of</strong> vehicular traffic and the impact <strong>of</strong> emotions on driv<strong>in</strong>g behaviour. The three articles<br />

presented <strong>in</strong> this work comprise one important step <strong>in</strong> this direction.
