Investigation of Commercial Motor Vehicles Driver Cumulative Fatigue Recovery Periods: Phase II

There is insufficient scientific information concerning the length of time required for drivers to recover from various types of work schedules, particularly night schedules. The goal of Phase I of the Investigation of Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Cumulative Fatigue Recovery Periods was two-fold: first to review literature related to recovery, and second to develop experimental protocols to examine driver recovery needs. The goal of Phase II was three-fold: first to collect data on typical CMV driver schedules through a questionnaire survey; second to refine the protocols developed in Phase I based on the survey results; and third to review and revise the proposed protocol options by means of a consultation workshop with key experts and stakeholders.
