| Abstract | The objective of this effort was to determine the potential of developing techniques and methods for reducing the occurrence of highway accidents attributable to degraded driver alertness. Lapses in driver alertness are thought to be a maior factor in the causation of serious motor vehicle accidents. The most recent NASS data was analyzed to determine the extent of this problem. Potential methods and techniques for reducing driver alertness-related problems include the development and use of: o Vehicle subsystems which automatically detect reduced driver alertness through erratic driving and make the driver aware of the problem and/or slow or stop the vehicle (e.g., eyelid-droop meters); o Vehicle subsystems which amplify sub-threshold signals and make them more apparent to the driver (e.g., radar-based obstacle detection and warning systems); and o Vehicle subsystems which automatically detect unsafe conditions and slow or stop the vehicle (e.g., radar-based braking systems). This study focused on the potential of devices to detect driver alertness problems and concluded with recommendations for the development and performance of a demonstration program to further evaluate these techniques and methods. |
