Countermeasure drowsiness by design - using common behaviour
Abstract
This study takes a starting point in what drivers do to avoid drowsiness while driving instead of starting with what researchers know is efficient (Take a short nap). It is concluded that research is missing when it comes to how efficient common behavior countermeasures are and that there is a mismatch between research and how people actually behave. A three stage approach which includes identification, information and countermeasure is suggested. Furthermore are a few ideas of what car manufacturers can do to support human behavior presented.
