Abstract:

Data from 41 long-haul truck drivers were collected and analyzed for the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) sponsored project entitled, “Impact of Sleeper Berth Usage on Driver Fatigue” (Dingus et al., 2001). This data was collected in situ, or naturalistically as drivers worked their normal routes. The purpose of this study was to investigate driver fatigue during long-haul trucking operations. More specifically, analyses on the data were collected to examine a variety of fatigue-related factors including the relationship of driver sleep quantity and quality to: sleeper berth design, environmental factors, team vs. single operations, and length of trip.
