Driver drowsiness as well as driver distraction are major causes of severe accidents; thus tracking driver performance (and its deterioration) by driver monitoring as well as designing driver assistance systems to reduce the driver's workload and to prevent driving errors are actual topics in applied human-machine-interface research. The first results of these driving simulator experiments demonstrate that the problem of driver drowsiness and driver performance tracking can be successfully investigated in a lab situation. Certainly, the use of a static simulator does not provide the vestibular sensing caused by acceleration and deceleration in any direction; but from the neural information processing point of view, the portion of this information input is much less than that of the visual sensory input (retina) and the sensorimotor reafferences. And testing in real traffic would include a high risk for accidents, so it must be restricted to a minimum; therefore, first designs of driver monitoring and driver assistance systems are checked in the simulator before their realization in the real car. But nevertheless, those driver drowsiness monitoring tests can also be done in real traffic, using extraordinary equipped cars (like driving school cars), but such investigations cause high expenses. But certainly, there is an open field for more innovative ideas using different approaches to the problem of driver monitoring, especially the tracking of the driver's performance and the drowsiness detection. In particular, it should be checked which of the numerous driving parameters registered in a modern car for, e.g., stability control, cruise control etc. can additionally be used for driver monitoring, even if they presumably offer only an indirect representation of the driver's state but at zero costs. This paper reports about a research project using a driving simulator in the lab. It describes the commonly used performance metrics of driver monitoring technologies which are available at the moment. This work will establish the background and the reference for further experiments, e.g. evaluating a lane departure warning system and a performance feedback system.
