Proposal to include specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) as complementary performance metrics in the 01 series alongside sensitivity. Specificity measures how well the system avoids warning non-drowsy drivers; PPV measures how often a warning corresponds to genuine drowsiness. Both metrics address the false-positive burden not adequately shown by the 00 series, which focuses on sensitivity alone. Separate criteria should be set for drowsiness monitoring and microsleep detection, developed together with revised test methodology rather than simply added to the existing methodology.
