The present CIs have demonstrated that vibrational frequencies of 4-7 Hz entrain brainwaves associated with the onset of sleep. Our unpublished pilot data show that higher vibrational frequencies can restore alertness. Thus future vehicle design could dampen 3-8Hz vibrations while higher frequency vibrations could counteract drowsiness or stimulate alertness. This project aims to: i) develop novel equivalent drowsiness contours for the effects of physical vibration on driver drowsiness that will form the basis of a new industry standard for transportation safety; ii) develop an innovative vibration regime to improve alertness. This research will reduce transportation injuries and deaths by enabling the design of safer transport vehicles.

目前的CI已经证明，4-7 Hz的振动频率夹带与睡眠开始相关的脑电波。我们未发表的试验数据表明，更高的振动频率可以恢复警觉性。因此，未来的车辆设计可以抑制3-8Hz的振动，而更高频率的振动可以抵消睡意或刺激警觉性。本项目旨在：i）针对物理振动对驾驶员困倦的影响开发新的等效困倦轮廓，其将形成用于运输安全的新的行业标准的基础; ii）开发创新的振动机制以提高警觉性。这项研究将通过设计更安全的运输车辆来减少运输伤害和死亡。
