BackgroundProlonged wakefulness, restricted sleep, and circadian factors can impact driving performance and road safety. Currently, there are no effective objective roadside tests to detect the state of drivers sleepiness during or prior to driving, or predict future driving impairment risk. This paper reports on an extended wakefulness protocol used to determine if a portable virtual reality device to administer vestibular-ocular motor function (VOM) tests can effectively detect 1) drivers stat...
