Abstract:Fatigue-related issues associated with motorcoach drivers differ from the issues faced by truck drivers because of the distinct nature of their jobs. For example, truck and motorcoach drivers deal with different vehicular operating characteristics, number of hours spent behind the wheel and on the road, cargo, method of driver compensation, and outside influences.

This Tech Brief summarizes the study final report, which contains recommendations for driver fatigue and stress countermeasures. 4 p.
