Drowsiness in the Field In the previous episodes, we first looked at the sleep-wake cycle and the drowsiness processes we are all subject to. The last episode addressed the different types of drowsiness measures and weighed in on why one was better than the other. In this episode, we will use a case study from...
How is Drowsiness Measured? Last episode, the drowsiness regulation process in humans was discussed. However, to apply this understanding to real world situations we need to be able to objectively measure drowsiness levels. So how is drowsiness measured?

Our drowsiness level is regulated by the sleep-wake cycle that contains complex...
What is Drowsiness? In this 5-part mini-series, we discuss all things drowsiness. We start by demystifying the condition, then dive into the human processes that regulate drowsiness, explore how it is measured and describe the development of an objective drowsiness metric.  We finish by explaining how the next generation of vehicles will be able to...
Once a vehicle’s DMS has successfully detected a fatigued or unresponsive driver as described above, it would need to provide warnings and/or interventions to be awarded maximum points. While Euro NCAP has listed requirements for warnings produced for fatigue and unresponsive driver states, they have left it open for OEMs to determine appropriate intervention measures...
There are four boxes representing general assessment areas that Euro NCAP uses to evaluate safety ratings. The fourth box, known as Safety Assist is subcategorised into four areas, one of which is Occupant Status Monitoring. This category is further subdivided into two areas, one of which is called Driver State Monitoring. Driver State Monitoring is...
Stars are awarded based on points scored in four assessment boxes: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Pedestrian Protection and Safety Assist. Details on how individual boxes are assessed are listed in their respective Assessment Protocols which can be found on Euro NCAP’s website. A vehicle’s score from each box is then divided by the...
