Abstract

In recent years, the number of occurrences of traffic accidents tends to decrease. However, many traffic accidents caused by careless driving representative of drowsy driving are still reported. In accidents caused by drowsy driving, deceleration by brakes is not often performed immediately before a collision, so the impact at the time of a collision increases. Therefore, in order to reduce the fatalities caused by traffic accidents, it is essential to prevent drowsy of drivers while driving. So far, our research group has proposed a novel driver arousal method applying the principle of bioactivation, Magneto-protonics principle, and has been examining the effectiveness of the method. As a result, we obtained the result that drowsy driving is suppressed by applying a small extremely low frequency alternating magnetic field against the vehicle driver. In this study, we have newly verified and considered the sustain effect of drowsy driving suppression by magnetic stimulation and the influence of the experiment task which were not verified before. In addition, by further increasing the number of subjects, we tried to improve the reliability of the drowsy driving prevention effect by the proposed method.
