Preventing the risks of monotony related fatigue while driving through gamification

open access: yesEuropean Transport Research Review, 2019
Background Driving fatigue can have serious consequences. Too often fatal accidents are caused by fatigue. However, it is not uncommon for fatigue to occur while driving when the driver is under-challenged.
