Driver fatigue can be manifested by various highly dangerous direct and indirect symptoms, for example, inattention or lack of concentration. The aim of the study was to compare the behavior of young drivers, older drivers and professional drivers, particularly in situations where they feel fatigued. In the online questionnaire, drivers answered various questions which analysed their responsibility of driving a car during fatigue, the optimum temperature in the car, or experience with microsleep. The sample of drivers consisted of 507 women and 951 men in Slovakia. Young drivers are more responsible when driving during fatigue, while professional drivers take risks, break the law, and drive tired more often. A total of 25% of all drivers experience fatigue more than once a week. Adverse results were found in connection with driving and fatigue, where more than 42% of respondents stated that their duties require them to drive even when they are tired. A total of 27% of drivers have had microsleep while driving. The survey showed that drivers are aware that thermoneutral temperature in a car interior can improve driving performance and a lower temperature can positively affect a person’s attention. The regulation of the temperature in the car was helpful for 75% of all drivers when they felt tired, and more than 97% of the drivers lowered the temperature in the interior of the vehicle in order to achieve a better concentration. In addition to standard statistical methods, a neural network was used for the evaluation of the questionnaire, which sought for individual connections and subsequent explanations for the hypotheses. The applied neural network was able to determine parameters such as the age of the driver and the annual raid as the riskiest and closely associated with the occurrence of microsleep between drivers.

Abstract Introduction Young drivers are over-involved in sleepiness-related crashes. Daytime and nighttime exposure to light might shift the human circadian phase and alertness. The alerting effects of bright light were compared with those of caffeine in young drivers. Methods In a within-subjects study, 30 chronically sleep-deprived non-professional drivers (aged 18–24 years) completed two simulated daytime driving sessions per day across three consecutive days. Participants completed the first drive under a Baseline condition (non-caffeinated gum, 555 nm light, 0.3 µW/cm²), and the second drive under the randomized conditions of Light (500 nm, 230 µW/cm²), Caffeine (100 mg caffeinated gum) or the combination of Light and Caffeine. Using mixed-effects models, the alerting effects of these conditions on objective sleepiness (ECG beat-to-beat intervals), driving performance (lateral lane variability) and subjective sleepiness (scores on the Karolinska sleepiness scale; KSS) were examined. Results Compared to the Baseline condition, lateral lane variability decreased under the Light (P=0.011), Caffeine (P=0.0001), and the combination of Light and Caffeine (P=0.046). Lateral lane variability was lower under Caffeine when compared with the Light (P=0.009) or the combination of Light and Caffeine (P= 0.0001). Average beat-to-beat intervals increased from the Baseline condition to the Light (P=0.017), Caffeine (P=0. 0.0001), and the combination of Light and Caffeine conditions (P=0.0001). All three conditions significantly reduced subjective sleepiness compared to the Baseline condition (KSS= 4–5 vs KSS=6, P= 0.0001). Conclusion Bright light, either alone or combined with caffeine, improves driving performance and subjective sleepiness during daytime drives. Light might better improve objective sleepiness and other sleepiness indicators during nighttime when drivers are sleepier and have an increased sensitivity to the light. Further research would clarify how the circadian effects are aligned with the alerting effects of the light. Bright light, as an alternative to or combined with caffeine, could reduce sleep-related crashes on the road. Support NA

Performance Issues

The Monash University Accident Research Centre is conducting a comprehensive research program with a focus on young driver performance issues. Despite the failure to develop effective young driver risk reduction strategies, most research efforts continue to be directed towards the behaviour and/or motivation of young drivers. This paper suggests that an expansion of this effort to include the investigation of driving performance issues is warranted. To this end, the simulator-based research effort is described, the cornerstone of which is an attempt to identify the important differences in driving performance as a function of driving experience. In addition, an overview of specific investigations in the areas of attention switching time and the provision of decision aiding information is given.
