0.1 Hz HRV may mark fatigue in inexperienced drivers; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does distance driven affect heart rate variability as an indicator of driver fatigue in inexperienced drivers?
Spectral analysis of heart rate variability in the 0.1 Hz region appears to be a sensitive indicator of driver fatigue.
Niels Egelund (1982) studied this question.
