Abstract

Drowsiness while driving is a major cause of road accidents of a serious nature. An alertness index was formulated. This index was related to the performance of a subject driving on a test course and on ordinary roads, and to the subject's perception of drowsiness. A description is given of characteristics of a state of reduced alertness in terms of physiological changes in the subject and the steering pattern displayed.
