Fatigue is a recognised problem in the transport industry. It has been attributed to two main influences: time of day and the time since last sleep.

We suggest areas where further advances are important, and argue that models of learning and of social preferences provide promising routes for improving and widening game theory’s predictive power, while preserving the sucesses of existing...
