Abstract

This paper presents the fundamental study of the method for keeping drivers awake at the wheel through conversation. We focused on the structure of a conversation and applied Verbal Response Modes (VRM) for analyzing the conversations, which were made between awake and/or drowsy drivers and an operator. The results suggested that the number of drivers' disclosure and the number of operator's reflection during a block of conversation are the features of the VRM balance, which is factored into an effective conversation for awakening drivers.
