• Abstract:
  This Tech Brief summarizes the findings of the “An Evaluation of Emerging Driver Fatigue Detection Measures and Technologies” study that was done in order to evaluate emerging driver alertness detection measures, models, and technologies that can be used to provide 24-hour fatigue monitoring capability. The study ties into an important element in meeting the strategic safety objectives of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)—that is, an emphasis on the safety performance of commercial drivers to ensure they are physically qualified to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) safely while staying mentally alert. The full report (Document No. FMCSA-RRR-09­ 005) provides a comprehensive discussion of unobtrusive, in-vehicle, real-time drowsy driver detection and fatigue monitoring and alerting systems.
