    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Transportation Safety
    • Human Factors Engineering

    Background:

    • Driver fatigue is a critical safety concern in long-distance haulage operations.
    • The physical, physiological, and psychological impacts of fatigue on drivers are substantial.
    • Existing safety measures may not adequately address the multifaceted nature of driver fatigue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the causes of fatigue in long-distance haulage drivers.
    • To identify and describe preventive measures for driver fatigue.
    • To advocate for policy changes to improve driver safety and well-being.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of the Haddon matrix principle to analyze fatigue causes and preventive strategies.
    • Review of existing literature on driver fatigue and its effects.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the contributing factors to fatigue in the context of long-haul trucking.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified key physical, physiological, and psychological effects of fatigue on drivers.
    • Utilized the Haddon matrix to categorize causes and preventive measures across different phases (pre-event, event, post-event).
    • Highlighted the need for a structured approach to managing driver fatigue.

    Conclusions:

    • Driver fatigue poses significant risks that require comprehensive management strategies.
    • The Haddon matrix provides a valuable framework for understanding and mitigating fatigue.
    • Implementation of specific regulations and incentive programs, such as bonus systems, is recommended for heavy-duty vehicle drivers.
