Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Fitness to Drive Rating and Driving Errors in real traffic and in the driving simulator by means of the software application S.A.F.E.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Eylelid Closure Index continuously measured by means of cupreous spools at the eyelid in the driving simulator - self rating by the patients and the participants themselves at defined segments of the driving test during real driving and during simulated driving - rating by the driving instructor during real driving - longitudinal and lateral driving parameters continuously assessed during simulated driving	—
