“…In order to validate proposed operationalizations of lane drifts (Verster et al, 2014;Verster et al, 2018), data was pooled from 11 randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over studies that employed the on-the-road driving test and were conducted at two independent research centers. These studies were originally designed to assess the effects of alcohol (Kuypers et al, 2006;van der Sluiszen et al, 2016), hypnotics (Jongen et al, 2018;Mets et al, 2011;Leufkens et al, 2009;Vermeeren et al, 2018;Vermeeren et al, 2016;Vermeeren et al, 2015;Vermeeren et al, 2014;Verster et al, 2002), and sleep deprivation (Jongen et al, 2015) and were selected for the current investigation because the administered treatments were found to significantly affect the SDLP. The pooled dataset included 315 healthy volunteers of both sexes who drove after alcohol (N = 49), zopiclone (N = 194), zolpidem (N = 72), oxazepam (N = 43), diazepam (N = 21) and sleep deprivation (N = 23) and after placebo (N = 315).…”
