Abstract

Endeavours to address fatigue as a factor in traffic crashes rest in part on an uncomfortable combination of disagreements and agreements. On the one hand there is extensive disagreement regarding the definition of fatigue, and there are significant differences in the criteria applied to crash characteristics to determine whether fatigue was a likely causal contributor. On the other hand, despite these disagreements, there is broad agreement that driver (including rider) fatigue is a major contributor to road trauma and that it must be addressed. (Author/publisher)
