That more accurately was able to define this program in an ongoing manner, what would that look like . Ideally, if every vehicle on the road or at least a large sample on an ongoing basis were equipped with sophisticated Data Collection equipment, including cameras, that would give us a great deal of insight into many of the intervening factors of crashes, including drowsiness. Short of that, i would really like to see in the National Data , which i believe is the only ongoing data system that has the means to make a reasonable determination of andher a driver was drowsy whether fatigue contri...

You mentioned multiple you look atnd alcoholimpaired driving. I am wondering if you can use the same technique on that d...
