| Abstract | On December 20, 2012, FMCSA invited a panel of experts in the area of fatigue and driving to discuss the risks associated with non-pathologic fatigue in motorcoach/bus drivers. This meeting was preceded by the preparation of a systematic evidence review which attempted to answer the following four key questions: Key Question 1: What impact does non-pathologic fatigue have on crash incidence and driving ability?; Key Question 2: How much rest does a fatigued professional driver need to resume driving unimpaired?; Key Question 3: How do motorcoach drivers differ from truck drivers in terms of the following attributes: A. Demographics (gender, age, race, etc.)?; B. Job function (pre-trip preparations, roads and distances travelled, opportunities for rest, etc.)?; C. Work environment (interactions with passengers, cabin ergonomics, schedules, shift cycles, etc.)?, and, D. Health-related behaviors and disease characteristics (body mass index, caffeine and alcohol use, depression, cancer, etc.)?; and,Key Question 4: Do identified differences between motorcoach and truck drivers increase (or decrease) the risks for acute non-pathologic fatigue? |
