The authors of the present paper report the measured physiological phenomena of a driver falling into the lowered alertness level and they evaluate the effectiveness of vibration stimulus added to a driver in the low alertness level as a means to keep the driver awake.From the survey test for 21 subjects, it was found the awakening whole-body vibration by the addition of which the alertness level of a driver could be heightened effectively, and it existed in the range between the amplitude of 1 to 15 mm and the frequency of 1 to 4 Hz.From the driving tests on road for 10 drivers under variable conditions of lack of sleep and much fatigue, the following results were obtained;
