Abstract
Managing fatigue among professional drivers is most likely to be successful if it involves the development of systems of management which are both practical and based on sound research into causes, effects and countermeasures to fatigue while driving. However there are often distinct differences in the conditions under which fatigue is researched and the conditions under which professional drivers experience fatigue, in addition to the differences in the driving tasks undertaken by different categories of commercial driver. This paper reviews recent research conducted into driver fatigue, describes the conditions under which they were conducted and comments on how relevant the findings are to the task of developing systems of fatigue management for commercial drivers. By way of illustration, the similarities and differences between drink driving and driving while fatigued are also discussed. 2
