Two separate studies were conducted with real and simulated night operation to examine the phenomenon of fatigue in drivers by a variety of physiological and psychophysiological sensors and indicators, including EEG, EMG, reaction and task performance measures, and changes in 17-OHCS level in body fluids. The objective of these studies was to differentiate the onset and development of fatigue in drivers with respect to specific modes of opposing vehicle headlights. The experiments were essentially unsuccessful in finding a sensory technique of adequate sensitivity to provide such discrimination, although gross changes related to fatigue were observed. (Author)
