Nowadays, determination of driver reaction time is discussed topic in the field of accident analysis. Driver reaction time is the main characteristic of driver behavior, especially in the situation before collision. Based on various studies, the reaction time duration of the driver without significant health problems has been determined. Besides this group, the driving license can be owned by people who suffer from any of the neurodegenerative diseases affecting their motoric skills. The example of this disease can be the Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease relates to a loss of nerve cells in the part of human brain called Substantia nigra which normally product dopamine (neurotransmitter) providing the signal transmission between neurons. The loss of dopamine affects the ability to control movements which might indicate a problem during the driving, especially in the case of brake pedal activation. The main focus of this article is to investigate the driver reaction time of people suffering from Parkinson disease. This study will be focused especially on the entire motoric response period, which will be analyzed primarily using electromyography. Driver reaction time of this specific group of drivers is found out from experiments in a simulated environment. The motoric response of patients with Parkinson's disease during braking will be compared with the motoric response of healthy drivers. Results of this research could be useful for detailed investigation of the driver reaction time of people suffering from the neurodegenerative disease and for comparison of driver reaction time duration between normal healthy drivers and drivers suffering from Parkinson disease.
