Thank you for your interest in our study!


The purpose of this research is to identify how various inputs for driver monitoring systems impact the ability of the system to assess driver states (such as distracted or drowsy) accurately and reliably. You will be driving on the NADS-1 simulator with motion. There are two studies, referred to as Track A and Track B. Track A will evaluate distraction only and Track B will evaluate both drowsiness alone and distraction while drowsy. A subset of people will be asked to complete both tracks. Track A will be completed first. Information for both tracks is provided below.


To create a more diverse data set in both studies, we request that you bring a few clothing items to layer. For example, you could bring a sweater, jacket, hat, scarf, shawl, sweatshirt, etc. You may bring any layering items you wish. We also encourage reading glasses, if needed.


You will be required to come to our facility, the University of Iowa Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI), home of the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), located on Oakdale Blvd. to participate. You are responsible for arranging your own transportation to and from study visits; DSRI will not be arranging any transportation. For the drowsiness study (Track B), you will not be allowed to drive, bike, or walk yourself after the visit ends and DSRI will be offering reimbursement of $35 per trip ($70 total) to cover transportation expenses for this visit. We ask that you refrain from recreational drugs and alcoholic beverages within 24 hours of any study visit.


Track A (Distraction Study):


Shape6 This track involves one study visit lasting approximately 2 hours. At this visit, we will review and sign the informed consent document, have you complete a payment form, verify your driver's license validity, and take a breath alcohol (BrAC) measurement (must be 0.000% to be eligible to continue). We will take a picture of your face to obtain skin tone data, take facial shape and height (both standing and seated) measurements, and then you will watch a training presentation. You will be escorted into our NADS-1 simulator and complete a familiarization drive of about 20 minutes. After this we will ensure you are feeling well enough to continue in the study. You will then complete a study drive of approximately 60 minutes. You will complete a rating of your current sleepiness level before and after your study drive. After your drive, you will again be asked how you are feeling and your visit will be complete.


If you complete the study visit and all study procedures, you can earn up to $60 for your time and effort. If you withdraw from the study or your participation ends (e.g., due to simulator issues or protocol non-compliance), your compensation will be pro-rated at a rate of $30/hour. You will receive a minimum of $10 if you meet eligibility criteria at the visit. If you fail to meet study eligibility criteria at the visit, you will receive only $5 and be sent home.


Track B (Drowsiness and Distraction while Drowsy Study):


This track involves one study visit lasting approximately 9 hours. The visit will start at either 5:15 p.m. or 6:45 p.m. The time of your visit will be given to you in advance so that you know when to arrive at the facility. At this visit, we will review and sign the informed consent document, have you complete a payment form, and verify your driver’s license validity. We will also take a picture of your face to obtain skin tone data and take facial shape and height (both standing and seated) measurements.


Your eligibility to complete the study visit will be determined at the visit. You will need to be sure you are awake by 7:00 a.m. the day of your study visit. You must refrain from sleep, including naps, until you arrive for your study visit. You must also avoid stimulation such as aerobic exercise or caffeine after 1:00 p.m. the day of your study visit. We will collect a breath alcohol measurement at the start of the visit and ask you to complete a questionnaire about your sleep and food intake for the past 24 hours to ensure your continued eligibility.

Shape7 You will receive instructions regarding driving the NADS-1 simulator and the study drives at your visit. You will be asked to complete one familiarization drive of approximately 20 minutes and three study drives each of approximately 60 minutes. The first drive will occur while you are still alert and not experiencing signs of drowsiness. The next two drives will begin once you are showing signs of drowsiness and have been awake for at least 14 hours. We will have you wait a number of hours to ensure you are showing signs of drowsiness. You will complete several sleepiness ratings before and after your study drives, as well as during the waiting period (approximately every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours). We will also be asking you how you are feeling to ensure you are well enough to continue driving between each drive. You will again be asked how you are feeling after your final drive. After this, your visit will be complete. You will not be permitted to walk, bike, or drive yourself home after this visit and will need to arrange your own transportation to and from the visit.


You may also bring things to do for use during the waiting period. During this time, you will not be able to do stimulating activity such as consume caffeine or exercise, but you could bring a book, knitting, an electronic device for movies or music, etc.


If you complete the study visit and all study procedures, you can earn up to $340 for your time and effort. You will receive up to $270 for completing the study visit with an additional $35 per trip ($70 total) to reimburse for transportation expenses to and from the overnight study visit. If you withdraw from the study or your participation ends, your compensation will be pro-rated at a rate of $30/hour. You will receive a minimum of $10 if you meet study eligibility criteria at the visit. If you fail to meet study eligibility criteria at the visit, you will receive only $5 and be sent home.


General Information:


As part of this eligibility questionnaire, we are asking you some demographic and driving questions. In order to ask these only once (and not ask again at your study visit(s)), we will be keeping your responses to these questions if you enroll into Track A, Track B, or both. This means that if you sign an informed consent document at a study visit, we will be keeping your demographic and driving responses as data. No other responses to this eligibility questionnaire will be kept, and we will only be keeping the demographic and driving responses as data if you sign a consent document. If you do not sign a consent document, we will not keep your data. This block of questions is specifically highlighted in the questionnaire so that you know which responses will be kept.


If you are not interested in this research, exit this questionnaire early, or are determined not eligible, we will not ask for your name or any other information that would identify you. If you are determined potentially eligible, you will be asked to provide your contact information so that a researcher may contact you to set up a study appointment. There is no compensation for completing this eligibility questionnaire. Compensation for the study visits is as described above.


We will keep your information secure and confidential. However, federal regulatory agencies and the University of Iowa Institutional Review Board (a committee that reviews and approves research studies) may inspect and copy records pertaining to this research.


Shape8 We encourage you to ask questions. If you have any questions about the research study itself, please contact Rose Schmitt (319-335-4666, [email protected]). If you have questions, concerns, or complaints about your rights as a research subject or about research related injury, please contact the Human Subjects Office, 105 Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, 600 Newton Rd, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242-1098, (319) 335-6564, or e-mail [email protected].
