When the road makes you drowsy: individual differences related to task-induced fatigue (original) (raw)

2005

Abstract

Driver fatigue studies focus mainly on endogenous causes of sleepiness. While this work is fundamental, the authors believe that a complimentary approach, investigating the effects of exogenous (task-induced) factors that also continuously impact on alertness, is important. This study focuses on exogenous factors associated with driver fatigue and on personality based individual differences in the reaction to these factors. A simulator experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of road monotony on fatigue-related performance measures and to investigate how relevant biologically oriented personality dimensions can modulate these effects.
