Feasibility of force platform based roadside drowsiness screening - A pilot study

These results indicate that the force platform test identified drivers, whose impairment in postural control was drowsiness-related. Specifically, the test identified the few drivers in this roadside sample whose wake- and work histories resembled a night shift schedule. In this kind of roadside setting, with a demographically heterogeneous group and interindividual differences in people's responses to drowsiness, it suggests that the method, further developed, may provide a drowsiness test for roadside surveillance.
