Yes, researchers often use various tools to quantify sleepiness at motor vehicle crash sites. These can include subjective assessments like questionnaires or scales (e.g., the Epworth Sleepiness Scale) and objective measures like the use of actigraphy or monitoring eye movements. Additionally, law enforcement and accident investigators may analyze factors such as time of day and the driver's sleep history to assess the likelihood of sleepiness contributing to the crash. However, direct measurement of sleepiness at the crash site can be challenging due to the chaotic nature of such incidents.

The human crash involves the impact experienced by occupants inside the vehicle, while the external crash pertains to the effects on the surrounding environment, including other vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure.
