The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Conference on Research on Fatigue in Transit Operations was conducted October 1213, 2011, at the Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, D.C. The conference, which was sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) and TRB, focused on operator fatigue in public transportation. TRB assembled a committee, appointed by the National Research Council, to organize and develop the conference program. Speakers highlighted experiences addressing fatigue in other transportation modes, health effects of fatigue, safety impacts of fatigue, and fatigue issues and initiatives in transit. Participants also discussed potential topics for further research and outreach activities. The conference summary report is based on the conference agenda and includes summaries of the presentations and the research needs discussion. The conference attracted 49 participants from transit agencies, federal agencies, labor unions, universities, and the private sector. Their range of experience provided for a stimulating exchange of ideas. This report has been prepared by the conference rapporteur as a factual summary of what occurred at the conference. |
