MANAGING FATIGUE IN TRANSPORTATION, APRIL 29-30, 1997, TAMPA, FLORIDA. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

This international conference was convened because the increasing weight of research evidence, as well as recent technological developments, convinced multi-modal leaders that the time was ripe to collectively address the ability of current regulations and operational procedures to counteract fatigue in all transportation operations. The focus of the conference - managing operator fatigue - attracted leading scientists, government officials, and transportation managers from around the world, and was widely praised for the quality of the speakers and the message they delivered: the need for regulatory flexibility to allow transportation companies and operators to responsibly manage their fatigue risks based on the most current research findings. To identify common operator fatigue issues across transportation modes, world-renowned sleep researchers who specialize in sleep loss, fatigue, and sustained operator performance, gave in-depth presentations of scientific findings that contributed practical information on a diversity of topics pertinent to fatigue management.
