ABSTRACT There is disclosed a method and apparatus for monitoring the alertness of the driver of a vehicle which has its own power source and which travels on an unbounded path, particularly during monotonous driving conditions. The invention continuously monitors the electric power consumption of the vehicle and when this power consumption remains substantially constant for more than a predetermined period of time, the invention sends a signal to the driver, to which he must respond with predetermined accuracy and in a predetermined period of time. Failing this, the invention gives the operator a warning display and repeats the test, which if failed repeatedly; results in the equipment giving an alarm perceptible to those outside the vehicle, by the horn and/or flashing lights. In addition, the invention can preserve a record of the driving conditions and test results and can provide coded access to operation of the vehicle to prevent unauthorized entry. The invention can also provide a test of alertness which the driver must pass before actuation of the vehicle can be initiated.
