The findings are expected to inspire the design of the car or vehicle safer in the future. By entering the blue light as part of the interior design of modern cars, the number of accidents caused by drowsy drivers are expected to be reduced.
Experiments on 48 drivers who cover a distance of 400 km shows, the error rate is reduced thanks to the driver who made the blue light. Violation of road markings done 15 times by drivers who are exposed to blue light, 13 times the driver who drink coffee and 26 times on drivers who do not get anything.
Research published in the journal PLoS ONE this proves that the color blue can improve alertness by stimulating the ganglion cells of the retina. Quoted from the Daily Mail, Thursday (11/29/2012), the cells are found in the layers of the retina located at the back of the eyeball.
Retinal ganglion cells are also connected with the nerves of consciousness. Therefore, it can induce the secretion or release menungkatkan melatonin, a hormone that makes people be awake and stay alert all night.
Various previous studies showed that a third of the victims of road accidents related to drowsiness. Because of drowsiness, the driver could lose alertness, reflexes and the ability of visual perception in the sense of vision decreases.
