Abstract:The purpose of this study was to (1) identify from direct interaction with motorcoach owners, safety directors, operations managers, and drivers those fatigue-inducing stresses which they believe are unique to the motorcoach industry; (2) evaluate the relative influence of these stresses on bus driver fatigue; (3) provide relevant feedback to the FHWA/OMC for its use in future decisions which will affect the motorcoach industry; and (4) develop an outreach video to help motorcoach drivers understand the effects of fatigue, the stresses that induce it, and means to reduce it. This study was conducted with a regulation neutral approach. While the information derived from the study may be useful for decision making by FHWA/OMC, the study does not provide recommendations concerning changes to existing regulations or the creation of new regulations for the motorcoach industry. 4 Appendices, 117p.
