This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the full final report on the largest and most comprehensive over-the-road study of commercial motor vehicle driver fatigue ever conducted in North America. Data collection involved 80 drivers in the US and Canada who were monitored over a 16-week period. Work-related factors thought to influence the development of fatigue, loss of alertness, and degraded performance in drivers were studied within an operational setting of real-life, revenue-generating runs. These factors included the amount of time spent driving during a work period, the number of consecutive days of driving, the time of day when driving took place, and schedule regularity. Chapter 1 contains the background to the study and information on study objectives and overall approach. Chapter 2 presents a detailed literature review on driver fatigue and its measurement, as well as on the involvement of fatigue in crashes. The next two chapters present the study methodology, data collection methods, and detailed results. The final chapter contains an overview of the results (including the most significant factors affecting fatigue & alertness, as well as findings related to scientific methodologies & fatigue countermeasure concepts) and the study's conclusions and recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the U.S. Fed. Highway Admin. & Transport Canada. This study was the largest & most comprehensive over-the-road study ever conducted on driver fatigue & alertness in North America. Conducted over seven years, it provides extensive information on the alertness, driving performance, & physiological & subjective states of commercial motor vehicle drivers in the U.S. & Canada as they perform real-life, revenue-generating trips. The study was designed to examine the relative impacts of fatigue factors, taking into account the Canadian hours-of-service rules, which differ from those in the U.S. Charts & tables.

Book excerpt: Summarizes major results from a comprehensive over-the-road study of commercial motor vehicle driver fatigue. Data collection involved 80 drivers in the US and Canada who were monitored over a 16-week period. Work-related factors thought to influence the development of fatigue, loss of alertness, and degraded driving performance were examined within an operational setting of real-life, revenue-generating trips. Study methodology is outlined and results are discussed as related to the amount of time spent driving during a work period, the number of consecutive days of driving, the time of day when driving took place, cumulative fatigue across days, quantity and quality of sleep obtained, drowsiness during driving, napping, self-awareness of fatigue, differences among drivers, and fatigue countermeasures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Driver Fatigue and Alertness Study was the largest and most comprehensive over-the-road study of its kind ever conducted in North America. Its primary purposes were to establish measurable relationships between CMV driver activities and physiological and psychological indicators of fatigue and reduced alertness and to provide a scientifically valid basis to determine the potential for revisiting the 60-year-old hours-of-service regulations. A number of work-related factors thought to influence the development of fatigue, loss of alertness and degraded performance in CMV drivers was studied within an operational setting of real-life, revenue-generating trips. These included: the amount of time spent driving during a work period; the number of consecutive days of driving; the time of day when driving took place; and schedule regularity. It was found that the strongest and most consistent factor influencing driver fatigue and alertness was time-of-day; drowsiness, as observed in video recordings of the driver's face, was markedly greater during night driving than during daytime driving. The number of hours of driving (time-on-task) was not a strong or consistent predictor of observed fatigue. Other study findings noted that the number of driving periods was not a strong or consistent fatigue predictor; that there was a low correlation between drivers' subjective self-ratings of alertness/sleepiness and concurrent objective performance measures; and that there was a large difference between the mount of sleep drivers reported as their ideal and the amount they obtained during principal sleep periods in the study setting. While there is no single solution to the fatigue problem, much can be done to address driver fatigue through a combination of innovative hours-of-service regulation and enforcement, education, driver work scheduling, innovative fatigue management programs, driver screening, fitness for duty and alertness monitoring systems, and additional research.

Download or read book The Handbook of Fatigue Management in Transportation written by Christina M. Rudin-Brown and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of transportation, fatigue is a silent killer that can affect us all. Understanding fatigue, including how to manage it to minimize safety risk, is of great importance. However, while it is one thing to recognize that fatigue is a critical safety issue, it is quite another to set up a successful, scientifically informed fatigue risk management programme. This book is here to help. It has been carefully designed as a comprehensive reference point, bringing together international expertise from leaders in fatigue science, and showcasing valuable insights from transportation industry practitioners. The 40 authored chapters are divided into six sections, to better understand fatigue science, the consequences of fatigue in transportation, contributors to fatigue, managing fatigue and promoting alertness, real world case studies of fatigue management in practice, and future perspectives. While it is possible to read each chapter in isolation, most will be gained by reading the book as a whole. Each chapter starts with an abstract overview and concludes with summary bullet points, creating a handy "quick check" for key points. This accessible text is for those who are interested in supporting alert and safe transportation operations. It is suitable for professionals, transport managers, government advisors, policy makers, students, academics, and anyone who wants to learn more. All transport modes (road, rail, maritime and aviation) are considered. For anyone waking up to the complex challenge of fatigue management, this handbook is a must.
