Abstract

Driver fatigue monitoring systems might help to reduce sleep-related crashes by informing or alerting the driver, or even by taking corrective actions in the driving task. A questionnaire was designed to discover the objectives and the predicted effects of these systems from the expert's view. Researchers (N=19) predict positive effects of fatigue monitoring, as the reduction of accidents, but do not deny possible hazards due to behavioural adaptation. Professional drivers (N=52) claim it is particularly important to develop an affirmative attitude towards driving without fatigue and see potential in enhancing the individual responsibility of the drivers.
