The relationships among fatigue, hours of service, and safety of operations of truck and bus operators were investigated through a critical review of research pertaining to driver fatigue and alertness; an opinion survey of professional drivers and transportation industry officials concerning current practices and regulations related to hours of service; an analysis of accident data from several major carriers from the viewpoint of possible fatigue-related causes; and an empirical investigation of the effects of hours on the road, rest breaks, type of operation, time of day, and driver age on certain measures of driver performance and physiological states associated with fatigue and alertness. The resulting data are presented within the framework of current DOT regulations governing hours of service of truck and bus drivers engaged in interstate operations. (Author)
