Abstract

The purpose of this study is to keep drivers from falling asleep at the wheel, it is necessary to find ways of detecting and relieving drowsiness. For the estimation of our warning system, we measured the physiological parameters such as EEG, ECG, EOG while they performed a monotonous task intended to induce drowsiness. The effects of a oxygen, odor and various colors on the subjects while in a drowsy state were examined. It was found that a combination of a certain amount of oxygen and odor such as a menthol and yellow color can have a positive effect of relieving drowsiness.
