This proceedings text is concerned with driver fatigue across all transport modes. Most research into the effects of fatigue has been restricted to studies of road users but with new estimates showing more crashes can be attributed to fatigue than previously thought, fatigue is increasingly being seen as a significant public health problem. Drawing together research into fatigue and its management in all transport modes, this book shows that much can be learned from approaching the phenomenon in an integrative way. Exposing common misconceptions and exploring key research findings, the book presents the true complexity of the problem by bringing together up-to-date review contributions from experts on the causes and countermeasures to fatigues. The work aims to give policy makers a sound basis for formulating changes in regulatory frameworks as well as providing the research community and the concerned public with a complete picture of this complex problem and its solutions.
Industry Reviews
Andreas Sprenger, Luneburg
A book well worth reading, that should be of interest to everyone concerned with driving and working hours in a unifying Europe. ... [This book means that] Europe's transport community need not overlook developments that may be significant for safety and efficiency.
Zeitschrift fuer Verkehrssicherheit, No 3
Susan Van Hemel, National Research Council
The book is an excellent source of information for readers who need to "come up to speed" in the area of transportation operator fatigue and to familiarize themselves with the current state of research programs. It should be a valuable resource for researchers, transport industry managers, and regulators. Although most articles are written on an academic level, some are more practically oriented, especially in the final section on fatigue management strategies.
