Driving under the influence of alcohol
"Participants will drive in three different states (sober, drunk above and below the legal limit) on a designated circuit with a real car on a test track accompanied by a driving instructor. After the initial sober driving session, participants are administered pre-mixed alcoholic beverages (e.g., vodka orange). Participants are expected to achieve a target breath alcohol concentration of 0.35 mg/l (legal limit in Switzerland is 0.25 mg/l breath alcohol concentration) before the second driving session starts. Finally, the third driving session starts when the participants' breath alcohol concentration drops to 0.15 mg/l.~Participants will be blinded to their alcohol levels during the study.~Measurements: Heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen saturation, skin conductance, skin temperature, accelerometer, eye movement, radar, facial expression, audio recording, vehicle data, in-cabin gas concentration"
Driving under the influence of a placebo
"Participants will drive three times at the same intervals as the treatment group on a designated circuit with a real car on a test track accompanied by a driving instructor. After the initial driving session, participants receive placebo beverages (e.g., orange juice with vodka flavor).~Participants are fully blinded.~Measurements: Heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen saturation, skin conductance, skin temperature, accelerometer, eye movement, radar, facial expression, audio recording, vehicle data, in-cabin gas concentration"
