The principal purpose of the project is to conduct multi-disciplinary research and development of concepts and technologies for real-time prediction of drowsiness and countermeasures. The drowsiness problem will also be addressed on several levels through studying cost benefits, safety benefits, the role of different stakeholders and deployment questions. The concrete results will be an all-encompassing monitoring and feedback system,to be implemented in two demonstrator vehicles, a car and heavy truck. A secondary objective is to create sound grounds for further Swedish research and development within the field of drowsiness.
