چکیده

This paper presents detailed studies in relevance of fatigue. Diverse aspects of fatigue, like causality data, risk factors and consequences have enlightened to address proper fatigue mechanism. Fatigue is going to be major issue in Asia, and has brought many deaths annually. Fatigue is a process that starts with risk factors, moves on to subjective perceptions of and concludes with the consequences of fatigue. Driver fatigue is recognized as a major causal factor in accidents involving long-haul commercial drivers. Human operational performance and its relation with road safety is really great mean to understand in terms of technical and human behaviour. Fatigue risk factors, sleep, noise and working schedule etc like are also reduced with specific solution and personnel limits. Human error is found a basic reason of fatigue and need to be addressed to public and concerned authorities. Mathematical model and field based data is highly appreciated to understand basic scenario of subject and accident. The best way to reduce fatigue is to address issues publically and improve system according to environment of transport. This paper presents an introduction to the human fatigue model formulation and its application using a conception of the discrete time process that is regenerative with respect to the renewal process. The model can be used to estimate the human fatigue according to partial and full rest.

Method of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction

In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density.  They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...

An integrated approach to the regulation of heavy vehicle driver fatigue An integrated approach to the regulation of heavy vehicle driver fatigue

Prescriptive regulation of hours of service is the norm for control of fatigue in drivers of heavy vehicles in most developed countries. Since the initiation of prescriptive regulation, and particularly in recent years, understanding of the nature and causes of fatigue has grown. Little of this increased understanding has yet been embodied in regulatory approaches to the management of heavy veh...

Including Health in Environmental Assessments of Major Transport Infrastructure Projects: A Documentary Analysis

Background Transport policy and practice impacts health. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are regulated public policy mechanisms that can be used to consider the health impacts of major transport projects before they are approved. The way health is considered in these environmental assessments (EAs) is not well known. This research asked: How and to what extent was human health considere...
