Drowsy driving is a serious problem that claims the lives of many every year. Between 2011 and 2015, over 160,000 injuries and 3,600 deaths were attributed to drowsy driving (National Center for Statistics and Analysis, 2017). These numbers are likely underestimated due to the lack of physical evidence after a crash (Akerstedt, 2000). To address this problem, there exists a clear need for effective drowsy driving mitigation techniques such as public policy, education and drowsy driving technologies (Higgins et al., 2017). Although a variety of drowsy driving mitigation technologies exist, are not widely accepted, which is vital for adoption and effectiveness.
