In transportation and logistic applications, scheduling hours of service for multiple, interdependent truck drivers to ensure compliance with regulatory resting requirements time windows is an extremely challenging task. Models previously designed schedule routes have been capable capturing such scenarios. However, until now, there has no efficient way when facing multiple types interdependency...

An analysis of Victorian truck rollover crashes using data from the VicRoads Road Crash Information System database and National Transport Insurance (NTI) was undertaken for 2003 to 2007. Recommendations for reducing the frequency and severity of truck rollover crashes were made based on the analyses and supported by relevant literature. The Victorian crash data indicated that of all truck cras...

Lane change is a highly demanding driving task. A number of traffic accidents are induced by erroneous maneuvers. An automated lane-change system has the potential to reduce driver workload and improve safety. challenge acceptance system. From perspective human factors, an with different styles would user acceptance, because drivers could drive in scenarios. This paper proposes method design fo...

Using two years of crash and average annual daily traffic data we examine the locations and conditions linked to truck-involved crashes (accidents). A binomial logit model is used to describe how the probability that a crash involves a truck is a function of the percentage of annual average daily traffic that is accounted for by trucks, time of day, day of the week, weather conditions, mix of t...

BACKGROUND Fatigue driving is a leading cause of traffic fatalities and injuries in China, especially among heavy truck drivers. The present study tried to examine which and how factors within the human-vehicle-roadway-environment system contribute to the occurrence of crashes involving fatigued truck drivers. FINDINGS To reduce such risk on the road, a total of 9168 crashes which occurred in...

When transporting goods, truck drivers may have to perform load transfers between two vehicles at cross-dock or transfer locations. These create interdependencies the routes of different and require careful temporal synchronization. The situation becomes even more complicated when driver schedules must comply with customer time windows, working periods regulatory resting requirements. Although ...

15. Supplementary Notes Supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, University Transportation Centers Program 16. Abstract The objective of this research is to characterize large truck safety levels in Texas on the basis of driver, vehicle, cargo, and carrier traits while controlling for the effects of crash and operating environment conditions. Data to support this investi...

A significant proportion of worker fatalities within Australia result from truck-related incidents. Truck drivers face a number of health and safety concerns. Safety culture, viewed here as the beliefs, attitudes and values shared by an organisation's workers, which interact with their surrounding context to influence behaviour, may provide a valuable lens for exploring safety-related behaviour...
