The purpose of the report is to establish a national framework to collect and analyse fatigue data to better inform future policy. An improved evidence base is needed to demonstrate the impact of any reforms to the fatigue regulations in the Heavy Vehicle National Law. The report identifies regulatory fatigue issues that should be addressed in the national framework. The report endorses framework activities. These include: scientific research in partnership with the Alertness CRC, analysis of de-identified commercial data, national harmonisation of fatigue reporting and coding, and linking data to evaluate the safety of BFM and AFM.
