Cottonwood Road and east of the La
Caille restaurant to both the Snowbird
and Alta ski resorts. The Gondola
Alternative B includes a 2,500-space
parking structure at the base station, a
new base station access road, and
roadway improvements to SR–210.
UDOT will implement the following
components of the Enhanced Bus
Service Alternative: Improved and
Increased Bus Service, Resort Bus Stops
and a Bus Maintenance and Storage
Facility. UDOT has selected the
following sub-alternatives as supporting
elements: the Five-lane Alternative on
Wasatch Boulevard Alternative; Snow
Sheds with Realigned Road Alternative;
Trailhead Improvements and No
Roadside Parking within 1⁄4 mile of
Trailheads Alternative; No Winter
Parking Alternative; and the Gravel Pit
Mobility Hub.
The project will be constructed in
three phases. Phase 1 will consist of
Improved and Increased Bus Service, a
mobility hub at the gravel pit, and bus
stops at the Snowbird and Alta ski
resorts. To make the bus service
attractive to use, tolling will be
implemented to coincide with the start
of the bus service in Phase 1. The No
Winter Parking Alternative will be
implemented after bus service is
operating, and would continue while
the Gondola Alternative B is operating.
Phase 2 will involve constructing the
Snow Sheds with Realigned Road
Alternative, the Wasatch Boulevard
Alternative, and Trailhead
Improvements and No Roadside Parking
within 1⁄4 Mile of Trailheads
Alternative. Phase 2 implementation
will depend on available funding. Phase
3 will involve constructing Gondola
Alternative B and its supporting
infrastructure (base station parking and
access roads). Phase 3 implementation
will depend on available funding.
The project is identified in UDOT’s
adopted 2023–2028 State Transportation
Improvement Program as project
number 17374 with funding identified
for final design and construction of
Phase 1 elements. The project is also
included in the Wasatch Front Regional
Council’s (WFRC) 2023–2050 Wasatch
Front Regional Transportation Plan
approved in May 2023 and the WFRC
2023–2028 Transportation Improvement
Program (Amendment Nine).

Summary of the Collection of
Information:
NHTSA proposes to collect
information from the public as part of a
study to improve NHTSA’s
understanding of the differences in
approaches to driver state detection and
the potential safety impacts of driver
monitoring systems (DMS). DMS refers
to in-vehicle technology that can detect

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

driver state and interact with the driver
through the human-machine interface
(the user interface that connects the
driver to the vehicle). For example, a
DMS that detects drowsiness may
display an icon on the dashboard, such
as a coffee cup, accompanied by a sound
to alert the driver that drowsiness is
present.
This study contains two tracks to
assess DMS, and subjects may
participate in Track A, Track B, or both.
This allows for a balance between
understanding how driver state
detection changes within a diverse
testing sample and within an individual
across driver states. The overall sample
will contain 80 data sets. To achieve
this, 120 subjects are anticipated to be
enrolled due to attrition across tracks.
Each track will have 40 completed data
sets. Thus, the total sample size is
anticipated to be 68 subjects and will
include subjects that completed Track A
only (n = 28), Track B only (n = 28), and
those that completed both tracks (n =
12). Track A will evaluate the ability of
the DMS to assess distraction and Track
B will evaluate the ability of the DMS
to assess both drowsiness alone and
distraction while drowsy.
NHTSA proposes to collect
information from licensed drivers about
their age, sex, driver license status,
sleep and driving habits, and general
health history to determine eligibility
for the study. Those interested in
participating will be asked about their
ability to adhere to various requirements
of the protocol (e.g., abstain from
caffeine) and availability for a study
appointment. Those who participate in
the study will come to the University of
Iowa Driving Safety Research Institute
(DSRI), home of the National Advanced
Driving Simulator (NADS). Both tracks
involve a consent process, breath
alcohol measurement, facial shape
measurement, standing and seated
height measurement, training
presentation, a familiarization drive in
the driving simulator, and sleepiness
ratings before and after each study drive
as well as approximately every 30
minutes during a waiting period. Both
tracks also involve taking a digital image
of the face so that researchers can obtain
RGB values to assess skin tone
variability. Track A only involves one
study drive that occurs while the subject
is alert and distracted. In Track B,
subjects will be asked about their sleep
and food intake (to confirm they have
not consumed caffeine since 1:00 p.m.,
that they were awake by 7:00 a.m., and
that they have consumed no other
substances that could influence driving)
prior to an overnight driving session
that involves three study drives. The

first drive occurs while alert. The next
two drives are counterbalanced and will
occur while drowsy (at least 14 hours
awake and having sleepiness ratings
indicating drowsiness) and while
drowsy and distracted. Simulator data
will be used to evaluate the ability of
the DMS to assess driver state.
Respondents will volunteer for the
study by responding to an internet ad or
via solicitation for volunteers from the
DSRI subject registry. Only potential
subjects in the registry meeting
inclusion criteria will be contacted.
Respondents will be asked a series of
questions to determine eligibility to
participate in the study. The
questionnaire covers both Track A and
Track B so respondents don’t have to
complete the questionnaire more than
once and so researchers can ensure a
subset of respondents meet criteria for
both tracks. Criteria for both studies are
largely the same; differences are related
to ability to attend visits of a specified
length, willingness to adhere to different
protocol elements, and sleep habits
(needed only for Track B). A research
team member will answer all questions
the respondent may have and schedule
eligible respondents who wish to
participate for a session at the DSRI.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information:
NHTSA was established by the
Highway Safety Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C.
101) to carry out a Congressional
mandate to reduce deaths, injuries, and
economic losses resulting from motor
vehicle crashes on the Nation’s
highways. As part of this mandate,
NHTSA is authorized to conduct
research as a foundation for the
development of traffic safety programs.
In 2013, NHTSA published the final
version of the Visual-Manual NHTSA
Driver Distraction Guidelines for InVehicle Electronic Devices. In the
decade since, vehicle technologies and
interfaces have evolved and a
substantial amount of new research on
the topic of driver distraction has been
conducted. As a result, NHTSA requires
a rigorous and thorough review to
update the current state of knowledge
on driver distraction, attention
management, and distraction/risk
assessment. DMS are currently deployed
in many production vehicles. Current
production systems use different data
sources, including driver-facing
cameras, vehicle inputs (e.g., steering
wheel torque), driving performance
(e.g., lane departures), and other
measures (e.g., time on task). Future
production systems are also likely to use
physiological sensors (e.g., heart rate) as

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001

tools to identify driver state more
accurately.
DMS could play a variety of roles in
vehicles, including detecting and
alerting drivers to distraction,
drowsiness, or impairment, and then
adjusting the vehicle technology to meet
the needs of the driver or providing
support in particular situations. It is
important for NHTSA to be able to
discern the differences in approaches to
state detection to understand the
potential safety impacts of DMS. This
requires a comparison of various sensor
approaches to driver state monitoring
and the development of a test protocol
for different DMS methodologies. The
overall objective is to develop and
deliver a methodology that will assess
the ability of DMS to accurately
determine driver state by collecting data
to support a full assessment of the
factors associated with DMS and
modeling driver state based on sensor
data in a driving simulator.
Affected Public: Individuals aged 18+
from Eastern Iowa and the surrounding
areas who have volunteered to take part
in driving studies will be contacted for
participation. They will be randomized
evenly by sex, though some imbalance
will be permitted to be inclusive of
individuals who do not identify on the
binary. Efforts will be made to enroll a
diverse age sample that broadly
represents the age of the driving
population and includes those at greater
risk of crashing (e.g., less than 25 years
of age and greater than 65 years of age).
Additional efforts will be made to enroll
individuals with diverse skin tones,
oversampling those who rate themselves
higher on the Fitzpatrick Skin Type
Scale. Businesses are ineligible for the
sample and will not be contacted.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
600.
Study pre-screening is done via
online questionnaire. It is estimated that
600 individuals may begin the prescreening questionnaire. After prescreening, it is estimated that 300
individuals could be potentially eligible
and require contact to be scheduled or
to confirm eligibility requirements are
met. It is estimated that 120 individuals
will be enrolled to complete 80 total
data sets (anticipated breakdown of
Track A only = 28, Track B only = 28,
both = 12).
Frequency: Once.
This is a one-time collection of
information. The initial pre-screening
time is roughly 15 minutes and can be
done at the respondents’ convenience
using a device of their choosing. The
only requirement is an internet
connection to access the online prescreening. Not all who begin this pre-

45271

screening will complete the form in its
entirety, and not everyone will meet
study criteria. Those who meet study
criteria could be scheduled for Track A,
Track B, or both.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 700 hours.
The total estimated burden for the
study is 700 hours. Track A contributes
117 hours, and Track B contributes 473
hours. Online pre-screening and visit
reminders contribute 110 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
The respondents will not incur any
reporting or recordkeeping cost from the
information collection. Respondents
will incur a one-time cost for local
travel to and from DSRI, which is
estimated not to exceed approximately
$39.30 (based on the standard mileage
rate for business-related driving in 2023
and a round trip distance of 60 miles).
These transportation costs are offset by
subject compensation. For respondents
in Track B, who will not be permitted
to walk, bike, or drive when leaving
DSRI, an additional $70 will be
provided to offset the costs of finding
alternative transportation.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
