Ämnen: Bibl.nr: VTI 2010.0225Location: Abstrakt: At times, drivers may struggle against sleepiness while driving. This drowsy state is different from a non-driving low arousal state because drivers should make a great effort to keep their arousal level high. Twenty-one middle-aged male adults and ten male university students participated in an experiment in which they were asked to perform a monotonous one-dimensional tracking task using a steering wheel for sixty minutes and to report their sleepiness level (1 to 5) verbally when it changed. Their faces were video recorded to evaluate their sleepiness level (1: awake, 2: slightly sleepy, 3: very sleepy, 4: almost asleep) according to their facial expression. A struggle may occur in levels 2 and 3. The states with struggle were coded with beta (2beta, 3beta) and the states with no struggle were coded with alpha (2alpha, 3alpha). ECG (for HRV spectral analysis), respiration, and Skin Potential Level were recorded. Respiration was significantly deeper in 3beta than in 3alpha. The coefficient of variation of inter-beat-intervals (CV-RR) was higher in the struggle states than in the non-struggle states in both levels 2 and 3. The results indicated that physiological parameters such as respiration depth and CV-RR in the struggle states are different from those in the non-struggle states at the same sleepiness level.
