| Research Abstract |
The delay of reaction time of a driver is one of the main factors for the traffic accidents. Despite many studies regarding the criteria for attention and arousal level reduction, the method of predicting the delay of reaction time was unclear, as was the relation between these criteria and reaction time. In this study, therefore, we evaluated the attention and arousal level by using a measurement regarding the eyelid, named the 'eye-opening rate', and herein investigated the relation between the eye-opening rate and reaction time.
