Abstract

The research on the relationship between fatigue and accident risk has met great difficulties due to experimental problems and the theoretical construct of fatigue itself. Even the common view of an increase of accident risk with fatigue seems confused. Attention is given to the fact that fatigue may induce some compensatory changes in behaviour of the driver which in turn are associated with decreased risk.
