NHTSA has been conducting research to
assess the potential of vehicle-based technologies in mitigating
impairment related crashes by using driver state monitoring to
implement potential countermeasures for impaired and distracted
driving. This involves the development, refinement, and evaluation
of algorithms for detecting three types of impaired driving
(distracted, alcohol impaired, and drowsy). NHTSA proposes an
experimental driving simulator study to develop algorithms for
detecting impaired driving. This study will measure the ability of
subjects to maintain lane position and vehicle speed relative to
the posted speed limit while either drowsy or distracted by a
secondary task while driving a driving simulator. NHTSA is
requesting clearance to collect voluntary information from subjects
to determine their eligibility driving simulator study.
