The relationship between fatigue, sleepiness and crash risk while driving

驾驶员疲劳是一个主要的道路安全问题，目前通过鼓励驾驶员在感到疲劳时休息来管理。不幸的是，我们不知道司机是否真的能够检测到他们什么时候太累而不能安全驾驶，或者，如果他们能做出这种判断，是否以及是什么促使他们停止驾驶。这项研究将着眼于驾驶员对疲劳影响的认识，以及可以使用哪些指标和激励因素来鼓励他们对驾驶受损的迹象做出反应。

Driver fatigue is a major road safety problem that is currently managed by encouraging drivers to take breaks when they feel tired. Unfortunately we dont know whether drivers really are able to detect when they are too tired to drive safely or, if they can make this judgement, whether and what motivates them to stop driving. This research will look at driver awareness of fatigue effects and what indicators and motivators can be used to encourage them to respond to signs of impaired driving.
