A new system of infrared (IR) reflectance oculography is described that uses transducers attached to a glasses frame to measure drivers' drowsiness continuously on a new scale (JDS).
Abstract
Question of the study Drowsy driving is believed to be a major factor in road crashes, but currently cannot be assessed accurately. A new system of infrared (IR) reflectance oculography is described that uses transducers attached to a glasses frame to measure drivers' drowsiness continuously on a new scale (JDS). Driving in a car simulator was investigated in relation to JDS scores per minute.

Blinks and saccades as indicators of fatigue in sleepiness warnings: looking tired?

TL;DR: Oculomotoric parameters were linked to three different components of sleepiness while driving: a) deactivation; b) decreasing attention, resulting in disinhibition of spontaneous blinks and reflexive saccades; c) increasing attempts of self-activation.

Predicting driver drowsiness using vehicle measures: recent insights and future challenges.

TL;DR: This review examines whether vehicle measures can be used to reliably predict drowsiness in real time, and investigates simple functions of performance, as well as individual differences between drivers.

Spontaneous eyelid closures link vigilance fluctuation with fMRI dynamic connectivity states

TL;DR: Using the degree of eyelid closure as a proxy for vigilance state, behavior was able to continuously assay behavior and constrain the myriad of possible DCS to two relevant states denoting arousal in sleep-deprived persons, and these findings with participants who underwent a night of total sleep deprivation were replicated in an independent dataset involving partially sleep- Deprived participants.

The Impact of Shift Work on Sleep, Alertness and Performance in Healthcare Workers.

TL;DR: Although healthcare workers perceive themselves to be less alert on the first night shift compared to subsequent night shifts, objective performance is equally impaired on subsequent nights.

A Review of Eye Gaze in Virtual Agents, Social Robotics and HCI: Behaviour Generation, User Interaction and Perception

TL;DR: In this article, a review article provides an overview of the efforts made on tackling this demanding task and discusses how these findings can be synthesized in computer graphics and can be utilized in the domains of Human-Robot Interaction and Human-Computer Interaction for allowing humans to interact with virtual agents and other artificial entities.

Sleepiness, driving, and motor vehicle crashes

TL;DR: Assessment of the contribution of driver sleepiness to highway crashes and recent recommendations to change federal hours-of-service regulations for commercial motor vehicle drivers suggest that sleepiness may be a more common cause of highway crashes than is reflected in estimates.

Quantitative measurement of saccade amplitude, duration, and velocity.

TL;DR: A method for rapid, accurate measurement of saccade amplitude, duration, and velocity (average and maximum) was developed as a functional test of the extraocular motor system, and the two constants of this equation adequately characterized the relationship between saccades amplitude and velocity and permitted rapid statistical comparison between normal and abnormal subjects.

The sleep of long-haul truck drivers

TL;DR: Long-haul truck drivers in this study obtained less sleep than is required for alertness on the job and the greatest vulnerability to sleep or sleep-like states is in the late night and early morning.

Experimental evaluation of eye-blink parameters as a drowsiness measure

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the measurement of eye blink parameters provides reliable information about drowsiness/sleepiness, which may also be applied to the continuous monitoring of the tendency to fall asleep.
