Sandstrom M, Lampsijarvi E, Holmstrom A, Maconi G, Ahmadzai S, Merilainen A, et al.
Accid Anal Prev . 2016 Dec; 99(Pt A):272-278. PMID: 27988449
Current lane departure warning systems are video-based and lose data when road- and weather conditions are bad. This study sought to develop a lane departure warning algorithm based on the...

Forsman P, Pyykko I, Toppila E, Haeggstrom E
Accid Anal Prev . 2013 Nov; 62:186-90. PMID: 24172085
Previous research on driver drowsiness detection has focused on developing in-car systems that continuously monitor the driver while driving and warn him/her when drowsiness compromises safety. In occupational settings a...

Forsman P, Wallin A, Haeggstrom E
J Biomech . 2010 Sep; 43(16):3214-6. PMID: 20813369
Sleepiness is a major risk factor in traffic- and occupational accidents. While sleepiness is a persistent concern, there is no convenient test to monitor impending levels of sleepiness. We show...

Forsman P, Haeggstrom E, Wallin A, Toppila E, Pyykko I
Gait Posture . 2010 Jul; 32(3):419-21. PMID: 20634074
Computerized posturography exploits balance scores that quantify the size, dynamics, or structure of the recorded sway. Since people employ different balance strategies, one single balance score will not detect balance...

Forsman P, Tietavainen A, Wallin A, Haeggstrom E
J Biomech . 2008 Aug; 41(13):2892-4. PMID: 18718595
We develop a method to quantify sleepiness. Sleepiness is a major risk factor in traffic and occupational accidents, but lack of convenient tests precludes monitoring impending sleepiness. Posturographic balance testing...

Forsman P, Wallin A, Tietavainen A, Haeggstrom E
J Sleep Res . 2007 Aug; 16(3):259-61. PMID: 17716274
Although reduced sleep often underlies traffic and occupational accidents, convenient sleepiness testing is lacking. We show that posturographic balance testing addresses this issue, because balance testing predicts hours of wakefulness,...

Forsman P, Haeggstrom E, Wallin A, Toppila E, Pyykko I
J Occup Environ Med . 2007 Jun; 49(6):591-6. PMID: 17563601
Objective: Daytime sleepiness correlates with sleep-related accidents, but convenient tests for occupational sleepiness monitoring are scarce. The effect of daytime on balance, on posturographic measurements, and on their repeatability was...

Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc . 2007 Feb; 2004:2267-70. PMID: 17272179
We have investigated the relationship between measurement time and accuracy of posturography-based sleep deprivation estimation. Twenty healthy subjects, 20 to 37 years of age, participated in the study. The subjects...

Toppila E, Forsman P, Pyykko I, Starck J, Tossavainen T, Uitti J, et al.
J Occup Environ Med . 2006 Feb; 48(2):175-80. PMID: 16474266
Objective: Many drugs are vestibulotoxic and may impair balance. Styrene is both ototoxic and neurotoxic, but its effect on balance has been little studied. We evaluate the effect of low...
