FATIGUE AND DRIVING. DRIVER IMPAIRMENT, DRIVER FATIGUE AND DRIVING SIMULATION

This book reports the proceedings of a conference held in Fremantle, Western Australia on September 16-17 1993. The book discusses some of the key issues in current applied research programmes that are relevant to fatigue, including fatigue in the transport industry, the epidemiology of fatigue-related crashes, countermeasures to the adverse effects of fatigue on driving, empirical analyses of the impact of fatigue and some theoretical considerations in research into driving and fatigue. The use of driving simulators as a diagnostic tool for fatigue is important, and can be extremely useful for researching the problem, since they permit experimental manipulations to be carried out which would be impracticable on the road, and provide detailed measures of driver performance.
