The editorial body
Three lenses, one danger
Three angles on the same danger without a signal: science measures it, law and culture judge it, experience inhabits it. Not three sections: a single work.
Awareness Behind the Wheel
A question about sleep, attention and what happens when we're not fully there. Drive Awake is a Swiss project on sleepiness at the wheel: a documentary, a campaign and an editorial platform, with in-depth research and verified sources. We look at the same danger from several sides - science, law, culture, experience - as artists using science, and we tell it through human stories.
Between waking and sleep there is a threshold.
Behind the wheel, that threshold matters. Drive Awake makes it visible, to drive and live more awake.
Up to 30% of serious road accidents, in the evening and night hours, are linked to sleepiness.Prof. Mauro Manconi, EOC

The editorial body
Three angles on the same danger without a signal: science measures it, law and culture judge it, experience inhabits it. Not three sections: a single work.
Sleepiness leaves no trace at the scene of a crash. No breathalyser, no roadside test, no number on a report.
Where it comes from
One real case holds together science, law and storytelling: sleepiness that leaves no trace, and stays without proof.
The danger without a signal.
The Quinto case →The long story of the documentary, the daily presence of the campaign. The same gaze.
A film wider than the voices: it starts from the Quinto crash, the danger without a signal, and from there crosses science, law and the road. In production, no dates promised.

Our scientific partner on the search for an objective measurement of sleepiness: a published saliva study, a long-standing traffic-medicine division, the bridge between science and real driving.
Drive Awake is part of an official evaluation process conducted by intervista AG, Switzerland's leading research institute. The survey takes about 10 minutes and helps measure public awareness around sleepiness, sleep and road safety. It concerns all of us: those who drive every day and those who don't own a car.
intervista AG is conducting an official study on drowsy driving awareness. Your 10 minutes directly strengthen the scientific foundation of Drive Awake.
