Abstract

This experiment is one phase in the systematic evaluation of the reliability of heart rate variability (HRV) as a driver alertness indicator. Nine subjects became spontaneously drowsy in a passive laboratory situation, while heart rate (HR), electroencephalogram, and other physiologic measurements were recorded for one hour. It was concluded that HRV is not a reliable predictor of spontaneous drowsiness onset in the passive laboratory situation.
