Abstract

Although the performance of the vehicle driver has been well investigated in many types of environments, however, drowsy driving caused by vibration has received far less attention. Our experimental procedures comprised of two 10 min simulated driving sessions in no-vibration condition and with-vibration condition. In with-vibration condition, volunteers were exposed to a Gaussian random vibration, with 1–15 Hz frequency bandwidth at 0.2 m s−2 r.m.s. for 30 min. A deviation of the in lane position and vehicle speed were recorded and analysed. Volunteers have also rated their subjective drowsiness by giving scores using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) in 5 min intervals. Strong evidence of driving impairment following 30 min exposure to vibration was found significant for all volunteers (p < 0.01).
