Presentation summarising proposal 5 on drowsiness warnings acknowledgement. The 00 series permits warnings to cascade and intensify until driver acknowledgement but does not clearly prescribe acceptable driver actions or subsequent system response. Acknowledgement does not remove drowsiness risk. Proposal seeks to define acceptable acknowledgement actions, require continuous monitoring after acknowledgement, and mandate renewed warnings when safety conditions persist or return within a maximum time-period. Microsleep warnings must not be muted through acknowledgement of drowsiness warnings.
