Driver failure is recognized to be an important cause of highway accidents involving heavy trucks. Past research pointed out that such factors as fatigue and inadequate training may contribute significantly to a driver failure. Traditional accident data bases available from the departments of transportation in Tennessee and Kentucky were analyzed, but these did not have sufficient evidence to confirm the role of fatigue in truck accidents. The past accident reports filed by the inspectors of the Tennessee Public Service Commission contained several interesting information items that are not found in accident reports completed by police officers. However, human factors such as fatigue could not be captured explicitly in these reports.
