Long Distance Truck Driver Fatigue 1958

Driver fatigue is a safety issue of special concern to commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Many CMVs often run at night, and drivers sometimes have irregular and unpredictable work schedules. Most of their mileage is compiled during long trips on Interstate and other limited-access highways. Because of the CMVs' high annual mileage exposure (often 5-10 times that of passenger vehicles) and other factors, commercial drivers' risk of being involved in a fatigue-related crash is far greater than that of non-commercial drivers -- even though CMV drivers represent a relatively small proportion of all drivers involved in fatigue-related crashes. In addition, many other crash causation factors, such as alcohol use, speeding, and other unsafe driving acts, are generally less common in crashes involving commercial drivers. Thus, fatigue is a relatively larger concern for these CMV drivers and their vehicles. For details of the seven year Driver Fatigue and Alertness Study (DFAS) published in 1996, go to http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/facts-research/research-technology/publications/cmvf... . This was the largest and most comprehensive over-the-road study ever conducted on driver fatigue and alertness in North America. It provides extensive information on the alertness, driving performance, and physiological and subjective states of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers as they perform real-life, revenue-generating trips. This is clipped from the 1958 film, Gateways to the Mind, made for AT&T by the Warner Brothers Studio. The entire film is available at the Internet Archives.
