Abstract:This Conference was intended to enlist support for, and participation in, a new multi-modal DOT safety initiative. This initiative builds on the modal agency programs within DOT to develop techniques that transportation operating companies can employ to ensure endurance and fatigue-free performance of their workforces. While the modal administrations have focused responsibilities, DOT has the capability to identify best practices and pool knowledge from all the DOT elements. The ONE DOT perspective makes it possible to leverage the knowledge base by building on each other's experience. The Conference provided an opportunity to participate in discussions intended to refine the objectives and products of the Department's OFM research program. At this Conference, the participants shared best practice information on operator fatigue management, discussed the proposed products and process for DOT's OFM program, and forged working partnerships among industry, labor, government, researchers and others concerned with operator-fatigue issues. One hundred and seventy-two representatives from government, industry, labor, academia, and other transportation-related organizations attended the Conference. This summary highlights the key observations and messages that emerged from the conference presentations and discussions.
