Driver fatigue is a major problem in Australia in terms of health, road safety and economic impact. Countermeasures to combat the influence of driver fatigue have been limited to public campaign strategies like resting every 2 hours. There has been little robust research on developing on-road countermeasures that could warn the driver of their fatigue status. This proposed project involves a collaboration with Compumedics Ltd, a leading medical device company, to conduct sophisticated research into developing an EEG and wheel behaviour fatigue countermeausure. We will further explore EEG and wheel behaviour patterns associated with fatigue, investigate noise control strategies, and conduct laboratory and on road field trials of the fatigue monitor. If this device is able to assess fatigue reliably and warn drivers in sufficient time to avert accidents, then substantial economic and social benefits will occur.

司机疲劳是澳大利亚在健康、道路安全和经济影响方面的一个主要问题。应对驾驶疲劳影响的对策仅限于每2小时休息等公共宣传策略。很少有强有力的研究开发道路上的对策，可以警告司机他们的疲劳状态。这个拟议的项目包括与一家领先的医疗设备公司Compumedics Ltd合作，进行复杂的研究，开发脑电图和车轮行为疲劳对策。我们将进一步探索与疲劳相关的脑电图和车轮行为模式，研究噪声控制策略，并对疲劳监测器进行实验室和道路现场试验。如果该装置能够可靠地评估疲劳，并在足够的时间内警告驾驶员避免事故，那么将产生巨大的经济和社会效益。
