Expressways remain the black spots of sleepiness-related accidents. Evidenced by statistical data, off-ramp, as an inevitable route of expressways, has the highest accident rate. Therefore, security issues related to drowsiness driving on off-ramps appeal to closer attention and further discussion. This paper takes the simulator-based drowsiness driving performance on off-ramp as the study objective, collecting data about vehicles running parameters and 22 drivers' manipulation of vehicles. Data were collected under fully alert as well as drowsy conditions, including speed, lateral position, and steering wheel movements etc. The results show that driving performance on the off-ramp is significantly affected by drowsiness. The conclusion of this experiment will bring a fresh perspective for further research on drowsiness driving under different road conditions.
