The bus drivers have to suffer from very high labor intensity every day. Driving fatigue among the bus drivers is very common and has very dangerous risk for traffic safety. Fourteen male bus drivers, divided into two groups according to two kinds of work schedules, participated in a control experiment. The driving session was performed in the real road scene. Each driver was asked to finish a five-laps driving task. The Stanford Sleepiness Scale score was recorded to measure the subjective fatigue feelings of the bus drivers. Choice reaction time and PECLOS indicators were used to assess the driving performance. One-way ANOVA was used to examine significance of data variations with SPSS. Person’s correlation coefficient was employed to explore the correlations among the three indicators. The results reveal that driving duration has a significant effect on the vigilance level of the bus drivers. There are evident positive correlations between the three indicators. And the two kinds of work schedules have different effect on the bus drivers’ prevention of driving fatigue.
