REFLEX MEASURING APPARATUS DETERMINING THE REACTIVITY OF A DRIVER AND ITS APPLICATION
First Claim
1. Reflex measuring apparatus for determining using a test the reactivity of a driver, or respectively his ability of driving a vehicle, comprising the following elements:
- a steering wheel (1) of a vehicle provided with a device reacting to the variations in pressure exerted by one or both hands of the driver gripping the rim (2) of the steering wheel (1),a signalling device (2;
3;
4) that can provoke the reaction of the driver,a device (8) that can measure the time span between the signal given off by the signalling device (2;
3;
4) and the reaction of the device reacting to the variations in pressure exerted by the hand or the hands of the driver (measure of reactivity of the driver),a seat (5) of an automobile, the position of which can be adapted, and which is provided with a safety belt (6),a starting device (6) of the reflex measuring apparatus activated as the driver takes place on the seat (5).

Abstract
Reflex measuring apparatus for determining the reactivity of a driver, or respectively, his ability to drive a vehicle under conditions including under the influence of alcohol or drugs, tiredness, stress or normal effects of age. Reflex measuring apparatus includes s a steering wheel of a vehicle that acts as a sensor for measuring the reaction time span of the driver, a signaling device soliciting the reaction of the driver, a device to record a time span between the solicitation by the signaling device and a reaction of the driver (e.g. an analogue or digital chronograph), and a seat provided with a safety belt. The apparatus can be activated when a driver takes place on the seat.
