This project developed an experimental design and instrumentation plan, and conducted a pilot field trial test of commercial truck drivers' reactions to fatigue management technologies (FMT) under current Federally-mandated, hours-of-service in both Canada (phase 1) and the United States (phase 2). The project sought to experimentally determine how drivers engaged in over-the-road trucking operations reacted to a number of promising fatigue management technologies, and whether the technologies would improve the alertness and fatigue awareness of commercial truck drivers and increase their sleep time, by providing them information feedback about changes in sleep need, in drowsiness and in driving performance. It was hypothesized that the use of FMT would result in objectively more sleep and improved driver alertness and performance while driving.
