Description
Long Sun and co-authors test how lack of sleep changes the way taxi drivers spot hazards on the road. Sixty drivers took a video test filmed from the driver's seat, with two kinds of hazard: hidden ones that build in secret, and open ones in plain view. Half the drivers had been kept from sleep, and half had rested.
Eye tracking showed the tired group was slower to react and slower to look at hidden hazards. For open hazards they reacted faster, but stared longer at first sight. The authors say the harm from lost sleep is worst for hidden hazards, a point that could help flag high-risk drivers.
