The interventions that have been introduced are meant to assess the extent the drowsy driving problem, to determine if laws targeting fatigued driving are required, and to alert the public to the dangers of drowsy driving.

National Transportation Safety Board reports that drowsy driving is a factor in roughly 100,000 crashes annually that claim 1,500 lives and cause 71,000 injuries.
