Sleepiness in drivers, assessed by the PST, can be tested during routine police controls. The results of this study show comparable values to those previously published, confirming the robustness and technical practicability of the method. Nevertheless, there is strong need for further evaluation of PST and its relation to driving performance. For justifiable values similar to the development of the drunk-driving law, there are detailed investigations needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
