title = "Automated driving: The potential of non-driving-related tasks to manage driver drowsiness",
abstract = "This study investigated the reactivation potential of non-driving-related tasks during a simulated automated drive. In total, 71 participants took part in this experiment. After a relaxation phase, the sample was divided into three groups that were given different non-driving-related tasks (a dictation, a sport activity and a relaxation task). In this study, a rating greater than 7 on the Karolinska-Sleepiness Scale (KSS) was considered the system limit “Driver Drowsiness”. It was found that targeted use of non-driving-related tasks has potential as a suitable option for managing driver drowsiness. As no participant of the Dictation or Sport activity group exceeded level 7 on the KSS after the reactivation phase. Even after the effectiveness phase, there was still a major difference between the number of participants exceeding level 7 between the Dictation and Sport activity group compared to the Relaxation group. Results of this study should be considered for the design of human-vehicle interactions for Automated Driving Systems.",
