USE OF SIMULATION IN A STUDY INVESTIGATING ALERTNESS DURING LONG-DISTANCE, LOW-EVENT DRIVING

THE CAL DRIVING SIMULATOR IS USED TO STUDY DRIVER ALERTNESS. REVIEW OF PERTINENT LITERATURE AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ENABLED IDENTIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF INTERACTIONS OF THE VEHICLE, DRIVER, AND THE ROAD ENVIRONMENT THAT TEND TO REDUCE DRIVER ALERTNESS. A NUMBER OF CONCLUSIONS ABOUT REDUCTION IN ALERTNESS RELATIVE TO DURATION OF TRIP AND TO A HIGH LEVEL OF ACOUSTIC NOISE ARE MADE.
