CONFERENCE SUMMARY

On August 29-30, 2000, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
Safety Council and the DOT's Human Factors Coordinating Committee (HFCC)
sponsored the Operator Fatigue Management (OFM) Conference in Tysons
Corner, VA). This Conference was intended to enlist support for, and
participation in, a new multi-modal DOT safety initiative. This
initiative builds on the modal agency programs within DOT to develop
techniques that transportation operating companies can employ to ensure
endurance and fatigue-free performance of their workforces. While the
modal administrations have focused responsibilities, DOT has the
capability to identify best practices and pool knowledge from all the
DOT elements. The ONE DOT perspective makes it possible to leverage the
knowledge base by building on each other's experience. The Conference
provided an opportunity to participate in discussions intended to refine
the objectives and products of the Department's OFM research program.

At this Conference, the participants shared best practice information on
operator fatigue management, discussed the proposed products and process
for DOT's OFM program, and forged working partnerships among industry,
labor, government, researchers and others concerned with
operator-fatigue issues.

One hundred and seventy-two representatives from government, industry,
labor, academia, and other transportation-related organizations attended
the Conference. This summary highlights the key observations and
messages that emerged from the conference presentations and discussions.
The full conference proceedings including presentations and speeches are
available on http://scitech.dot.gov/reeng/humperf/humperf.html.

# KEY DIRECTIONS

***Operator fatigue is a critical issue that cuts across the
transportation industry***.

The National Transportation Safety Board has found that the incidence of
fatigue is underestimated in virtually every transportation mode because
it is so hard to quantify and measure. Many investigations simply do not
explore the condition of the operators, the extent to which they have
been deprived of sleep, and other characteristics of their
alertness.[^1]

It is likely that fatigue is a bigger contributor to incidents,
accidents and fatalities than many realize. Crew fatigue, for example,
has been linked to a number of major crashes, accidents, and costly,
highly publicized incidents, ranging from the Exxon Valdez grounding to
the collision of New York City subway trains on the Williamsburg Bridge.
This past July, a tug and barge skipper in the Puget Sound fell asleep
at the helm, veered off course, and hit a bridge, snarling traffic for
12 days and causing an estimated \$500,000 damage.[^2]

***Tailored solutions are appropriate for each transportation mode;
however, all modes can learn much from each other's experiences.***

There are diverse operational requirements, both within and across
transportation modes. As one presenter said, "In addressing the
challenges of managing operator fatigue, there is no simple solution, no
one-size-fits all, and certainly, there is no magic bullet." However, a
lot of groundbreaking work is going on, both within government and in
industry. Conference participants stressed the need to learn from each
other, identify common themes and build on the work already in progress
in order to minimize duplication of effort.

***Collaborative partnerships among government, industry, labor and
other concerned parties in the transportation industry are essential in
addressing operator fatigue***.

There was widespread agreement on one of the basic premises of the
conference, namely that fatigue management can be best addressed
collaboratively. DOT is seeking industry and labor involvement both to
guide the direction and content of its operator-fatigue management
program, and to actively participate in the program, as a partner and
collaborator, to produce products which will be of direct use to
industry and its workers. Success is predicated on close relationship
and partnering with industry and labor.

***The federal government has a critical role to play in addressing
operator fatigue.***

Participants stated that government must play a critical role in
"providing mechanisms to encourage innovative and new approaches to
alertness management and in conducting and funding relevant research
activities that will address operational issues." They want the
government to be proactive in "telling us what good science is" and
helping to translate scientific results into practical strategies to
reduce fatigue-related risks.

Participants felt that government can be most constructive if it focuses
on producing advisory information and creating incentives for
establishing programs. They highlighted the need to ensure the continued
viability of commercially marketed fatigue-management programs.
Participants also expressed concerns about the results of the
partnerships becoming the basis of mandatory programs.

***There is a need to develop a common language to discuss fatigue
management.***

There was much discussion about terminology, in particular the
difference between endurance, alertness and fatigue. One speaker made
the following distinctions: endurance is having the stamina to "go the
distance;" alertness is functioning at a high "mental" level to safely
conduct operations; and fatigue is diminished alertness and endurance.
The emphasis is on ensuring that operators have the endurance and
alertness necessary to perform their jobs safely and effectively.

Participants stressed the need, when talking about fatigue, to focus on
systems failure and on systemic causes of problems. Operational errors
should be examined in the context of the system*.*

#### CURRENT ISSUES/ACTIVITIES/GAPS

There were two panels at the conference: a panel of DOT human-factors
program managers who provided an overview of DOT fatigue-management
efforts and a panel of labor and industry experts who described industry
and labor efforts to address operator fatigue in the maritime, rail,
air, trucking, and pipeline industries. Panelists were asked to discuss
the fatigue management issues they are grappling with, remedies they
have tried, and gaps in their knowledge. Following are some common
themes from the presentations and ensuing discussions.

The causes of fatigue are multi-dimensional and interactive and,
therefore, the solutions must be multi-dimensional.

Panelists emphasized the need to take a systems approach to fatigue
management. In assessing the problem and developing solutions, there is
a need to consider the following: the mission and objectives of the
organization; individual factors such as sleep management, circadian
rhythms, stress, conditions at places of rest (both home and away) age,
medical conditions, commuting time; organizational factors such as
predictability of work schedules, organizational policies and
procedures, schedule of time off, regulatory influence, coordination
with union, organizational culture; and environmental factors at the
work place and rest facilities such as light levels, noise, vibration,
temperature.

Solutions must address all of these areas and be tailored to both
individual and organizational needs. For example, successful
industry/labor fatigue management programs must accommodate employee pay
as well as company profitability concerns.

***Fatigue management programs often involve major changes in
organizational culture.***

Panelists representing labor and industry mentioned that they had
learned many lessons in implementing fatigue management programs. Key
ingredients for success were commitment and buy-in from senior managers
and union officials and involvement of all stakeholders in the effort.
Everyone must understand why change is needed and how the changes will
work. As one panelist stated, "no buy-in, no success." Another
characteristic of successful programs was "abundant awareness and
education for all, including family members." Panelists thought
education should be the "cornerstone" of any change strategy. Education
and training are needed to provide employees, their families, and
managers with a greater awareness of the problem as well as an
understanding of effective actions they can take to reduce
fatigue-related risks. Finally, as with all major change efforts,
effective fatigue management programs require sufficient resources and
support and constant communication on the status and success of the
process.

There is a need for more scientific research, both to document the
magnitude of the problem and to define practical solutions.

The true extent of operator fatigue is not well documented. Panelists
recommended that anonymous incident/accident databases, focusing on each
modal or sub-modal segment, be established.

Panelists also cited the need for practical solutions, "things realistic
and do-able," that have a scientific foundation. As one presenter
stated, "We need good information on best practices, what really works,
no junk science."

***More research is also needed on ways of detecting and measuring
fatigue.***

Panelists cited the complementary role of technology in addressing
operator fatigue and voiced support for further research to evaluate the
reliability, validity, and utility of alertness monitoring devices. As
one panelist stated, " There is a need for technology that we can use to
detect fatigue in operators so action can be taken before incidents
occur."

# OFM PRODUCTS/PROCESS

The DOT Human Factors Coordinating Committee described three broad
project areas being proposed under the OFM partnership initiative:

1)  [Fatigue Management Reference (FMR)]{.underline}: This reference
    document will help operators and managers of commercial
    transportation systems proactively manage fatigue in operational
    settings. The FMR will identify current and emerging "best
    practices" in fatigue management, discuss the
    advantages/disadvantages of each practice, describe how to properly
    implement the practice, and provide procedures to evaluate and
    measure efficacy of the practice. Field tests will be conducted to
    evaluate the FMR in operational settings.

2)  [Fatigue Management Analytical Systems]{.underline}: The goal of
    this task is to investigate existing fatigue-management analytical
    systems and field test promising system(s) in selected commercial
    transportation settings. The focus is on systems that can be used
    for one or more of the following areas: fatigue-risk-assessment
    profiling; forecasting susceptibility to fatigue among individuals
    or groups; automated scheduling and staffing analysis; and work/rest
    schedule optimization. The development of multi-faceted systems
    oriented models to forecast fatigue will also be explored.

3)  [OFM Program Evaluation Tools and Methods]{.underline}: This task
    focuses on the development of tools and methods for capturing and
    collecting long term data on the impacts of fatigue on worker
    safety, health and behavior and company economics. The objective is
    to provide the data to establish "business cases" for adopting
    fatigue management programs in the transportation industry.

DOT also provided information on its Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
process for attracting partnership projects that offer innovative
fatigue management solutions. The Department hopes to see BAAs that
include labor and industry partnerships and are relevant to at least two
transportation modes. The full BAA announcement can be found in the June
16, 2000 edition of the Commerce Business Daily and at the following web
site: http://www.rspa.dot.gov under Procurement Opportunities. The
solicitation number is DTRS56-00-BAA-0007, Operator Fatigue Management
Analytic Systems and Technologies to Forecast and Manage Fatigue and
Ensure Alertness for Commercial Transportation Operators (Posted June
16, 2000). There are three amendments: (Amendment 1 posted on August 16,
2000; Amendment 2 posted on August 24, 2000 and Amendment 3 posted on
October 31, 2000). The closing date for submitting proposals is December
15, 2000.

Conference participants were asked for their reactions to the proposed
OFM products and process. The following is a compilation of their
comments.

***A Fatigue Management Reference (FMR) would be of immediate value to
many throughout the transportation industry.***

Participants were overwhelmingly positive about the development of an
FMR. They thought the FMR should combine good science and practical
implementation strategies. It should provide generalized information as
well as specialized information for transportation mode and job type and
be scaleable to meet the needs of variously sized organizations.

Participants suggested that the FMR be in a meaningful, easy-to-use,
understandable and widely distributable format. Many envisioned an
interactive website, available over the Internet through FReDi (Fatigue
Resource Directory). The website would provide a central repository for
fatigue research.

Participants stressed the need for the FMR to be a living document,
updated and maintained on a regular basis. They stated, "Do not tie a
bow around it. Realize it will always be a 'work in progress.'"

Participants agreed with the need to field test the FMR in operating
industries. There was considerable discussion of whether the FMR should
be limited to "proven" practices. The consensus was that limiting the
FMR to "empirically validated" practices would be too restrictive.
Participants felt it would be useful to include anecdotal information on
"what works", but that it was critical to distinguish between the
validated and "to be validated practices." They recommended that the FMR
note whether a fatigue-management countermeasure has been systematically
and objectively evaluated as well as the results of any evaluations.
Participants also recommended that the government, as an impartial
entity, support and coordinate efforts to establish validation criteria
and methodologies.

Finally, participants stressed that the FMR should draw on the wide
range of existing research already done, thereby minimizing duplication
of effort. A first step would be to collect and review the literature
and research fatigue management efforts from all the modes within
government, industry and academia.

The development of OFM Program Evaluation Tools would also be a valuable
product for labor, industry and government.

Participants thought that research linking fatigue measures with
long-term outcomes and documenting the economic effects of intervening
as well as the risks of not intervening, would be very valuable to
labor, industry and government. If these evaluation tools were based on
program outcomes, their utility could go far beyond fatigue management.
Participants recommended developing a broad list of factors to evaluate
the cost/benefit aspects of fatigue management systems. They also
stressed the need to work with industry partners to identify the
relevant economic factors.

***Fatigue Management Analytical Systems could be useful*** ***in
predicting and understanding the impact of different work/rest schedules
and other fatigue-related working conditions.***

Participants thought that Fatigue Management Analytical Systems could be
a useful tool for many modes. They cautioned, however, that the
state-of-the-art in this area is not well advanced. In addition, most
current Fatigue Management Analytical Systems are proprietary.
Participants also noted that if these systems are to be useful, the
needs of the intended users must be understood.

The federal government should publicize its current OFM efforts.

Participants thought the government should publicize its current efforts
to address operator fatigue. They wanted to learn more about the DOT
efforts described at the conference, as well as those of other
government agencies, e.g., the National Institute of Health (NIH), the
Department of Defense (DOD), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the
Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

***Partnerships are the critical path for moving forward.***

Participants supported the concept of partnerships while indicating a
need to ensure that the government BAA process makes effective use of
the capabilities of small businesses and academic institutions. They
also cited a need for increased financial resources, both start-up
capital and funding to sustain the effort.

## NEXT STEPS

This conference was the first step in DOT's multi-year research
initiative on commercial operator fatigue. Based on the success of this
conference, participants recommended follow-up meetings. In the words of
one panelist, "First and foremost, we need to continue the type of
dialogue and information sharing that this conference is fostering.
...These types of forums help to expand our knowledge of this important
safety issue and formulate effective programs and countermeasures."
Another panelist noted, " It is our shared responsibility to enhance
safety in the transportation system by reducing fatigue-related risks."

The follow-up activities planned by DOT's Human Factors Coordinating
Committee include:

-   A report describing what DOT is currently doing to address key
    transportation-related fatigue issues and identifying what work
    remains to be done.

-   Ongoing quarterly or semi-annual public meetings to address specific
    fatigue-related topics and to publicize BAA activities.

-   Development of a ONE DOT strategy for coordinating Department
    fatigue-related efforts.

-   A directory of those engaged in transportation fatigue-related
    research, to be hosted on the Department of Transportation Fatigue
    Management and Partnership website (formerly FReDi).

-   A compendium of relevant transportation-related fatigue research,
    measures, and other tools, also available through the DOT website.
